July 2017: Self Installed Solar Panels

Brent installed our solar panels! We were able to find a company in SLC who designed the layout, applied for the permits and sold us the panels. Brent spent more than a month, every day after work, setting up the panels. He went through all the city inspections and they were complimentary about his electrical skills (no surprise to me).  He is the hardest working man I know!  I got on the roof a couple of times as did my brother Adam. The panels have been a wonderful addition to Our Concrete Home! We even hit a month when our ENTIRE utility bill was $9.00. Whoopie!

We love our detached garage. All the panels are on the garage's south facing roof. From the street you can barely tell that there are panels on the roof. I love the hidden panels.

We celebrated the installation of the panels with a new purchase: 2017 Nissan Leaf. The kidlettes call it the "raspberry". It's a smooth, quick car and we love the feeling of independence it gives us.











Some days the lighting is striking!
