Installed but useless

Our solar panels are up! As is a lot of new hardware attached to the house – an AC combiner to combine the output of each of the 18 panels and micro-inverters, a sub-panel for the circuits which are being powered by the battery backup, the system controller, and the battery backup.

Unfortunately, they’re not producing any useful power yet; the lead installer said that they need to set up some sort of account on the Enphase servers before they can turn on the controller, and that won’t happen until after the weekend (or maybe not until final inspection).

Progress!
