So amazingly enough my meter has been installed for over two weeks now. I didn't even find out about it till a week after the installation because they tucked a note in my front door while I was at work. And I NEVER use my front door. Then, just for fun, my circuit breaker box is on the exterior of my house, behind the fence line of my neighbor. Before you ask, yes, this is normal for my neighborhood. Every house around here is literally right up to the property line of the property next to them. No easement and no access if you have your meter/fuse panel on that wall. So after a week of missing my neighbor to ask if I could get to my circuit breaker for the solar I said fuck it this morning and jumped the fence and flipped it.


So. Yay me. I have fucking solar fucking power. It has taken so damn long I am more burnt about it and over it then I could possibly imagine. Perhaps when I see some returns on it I will feel somewhat better.

Needless to say none of my wait time had a damn thing to do with the company (REC Solar) that put it in but everything to do with XCell draggin their sorry ass to put the meter in.

The plus side to this is that the system was set up to be 104% of my needs with the wife running a home office out of the house. Looks like that isn't happening any time soon at this point so I should see some VERY quick returns on it. Even though I have missed most of the summer. Did I mention fuck XCell yet? Perhaps I should just in case I forgot. Fuck XCell. With a cattle prod charged with the power from my roof.

So today my box says I made 20KWH. Not too shabby I guess.
