Solar nearing the last panel

The Solar panel installation continued on Monday, but it looks like we have hit bad weather.

With a bit warmer weather today, we neared the end of installing the 525 panel system (still have apx 70 left to go). I had a photo-journalist from the CtPost with me taking photos for an upcoming article, so we hoisted the boomlift up pretty high for these shots.

Our building was built in the late 1800's and you can see other similar mill-buildings in the valley next to the Housatonic River. My hope is that other industrial building owners might see the potential to cast a new view on their property with an eye toward making them "greener".

The left photo shows a view of neighboring mill building factories with a glimpse of the Housatonic River and Route 8 bridge in the far background. The right photo is the panel array as of Monday afternoon (about 434 panels are in the photo, the entire system will be 525).
