So it was a big day today.  Ridge vents are being installed, new solar array layout was decided on (more panels and two inverters) and a reporter came by from the Austin American Statesman for an interview and photos.  The Statesman article will focus on a number of items (Pecan Street Project, other Mueller Neighbors, etc) not just me and my solar array.  The article should be in this Saturday or Sunday's paper.

Ridge Vents - All previous venting is being removed or moved, holes patched and new baffled ridge row venting is being installed.  See photos of work in progress.



New Solar Array Layout - System will now consist of two inverters and 64 panels for a total of 11.2 kW.  The array layouts are as follows:

• South - 44 panels @ 175 Watts each for a total 7.7 kW.  This array will run into an SMA Sunny Boy 7000US inverter.
• West - 20 panels @ 175 Watts each for a total of 3.5 kW.  This array will run into an SMA Sunny Boy 4000US inverter.

Photos below show the array layouts with shading patterns.

Will post more pictures and info as the work moves along.
