We produced our first power yesterday, and it was a small but real thrill when Matt of Standard Solar plugged in the SunPower monitor at 5:30 and showed me the reading: 20 watts, just enough to keep one of the energy-efficient lightbulbs going. That's not much, but then the sun was setting behind the trees and not shining directly anywhere near the roof. I look forward to seeing what the system can do at the peak of the day. It's a 1.6 kilowatt system, so I imagine that is the target.
Frustratingly, after showing that it worked, Matt turned the system off. Now we have to wait a week until the utility company has come over to review the system and allowed it to go live.
