Solar panels installed and working

[captain]

You guys have to be tired of me talking about wind and solar projects... I can't help it I am excited! I have been researching, planning, saving and working towards getting some sort of renewable energy for the house... I have been installed solar panels at my house over the past week or so and today I had my first live power run... With 6 panels I was making 48 amps at 24 volts.. I have 8 installed now with 2 more to go, I just can't wait until I get them all installed and working....

So long term how much will it cut your electric bill, just wondering?

It's nice when something works.

So you have 6 panels with 48 amps, with 4 more to get up and running. You should be able to almost completely offset your load from the utility. Can you calculate savings in real time with your panel?

Nice work.

Can you turbo charge those panels to get more power?

There is a lot of research being done these days!
