MAJOR MILESTONE - SOLAR

Hi from Ms. Generating and Mr. Electricity,

Jeff, our solar panel professional, reported yesterday that the final inspection for the solar was approved and after removing the snow from the roof and turning the system on, WE ARE GENERTAING ELECTRICTY!  The meter is running backward, meaning it is sending electricity back to Cherryland Electric Cooperative.

This is what it is all about!

  1. Today Cherryland came out and replaced the meter with the new bi-directional meter. We are good to go!

  2. Barbara - Joel has started building our home south of Benzonia, and we hope he can give us a peek at your home when we come up in early Feb. We are trying to decide if solar panels are worth the cost for us, so we'll be interested to see your data!

  3. Enjoying your blog and watching the progress of your house. We are considering building a lake house for retirement on south Lake Leelanau and are looking for ideas and the right professionals to help us get it done. If you have recommendations that you would be willing to share with us, please contact me. It is so hard to know who you can trust when you don't live in the area. Nancy Cory-Saaf ncsaaf@comcast.net
