I hadn't thought of this.... my barn has a cupola on the roof. As the sun is rising a little more north each morning, the shadow of the cupola is hitting panels on the roof. See the yellow line suddenly jump up? That's when the shadow doesn't strike any panels.

I'm a little sore today. Redoing a meter base on a nearby property... needed to dig up water lines and a fiberoptic cable to move them closer to the meter base. The fiber had been run the long way around. Depsite it being only about 20' from where I needed to move it, I had to dig up 130' of it around a tree and then route it to the meter base... another 120' of trench. Had to dig it up by hand to see where it was going... but the new trench I broke up with a sub soiler and cleaned it out with a shovel. Get to cover it back up today. I also wired up service for an RV at that meter base... 30amp TT plug and a 50amp RV plug. Today will get the well pump going too.
We will soon have a full RV hookup there on the other side of the property.

Horror story today. A buddy has a friendly rivalry between he and one of his neighbors about solar. My buddy started with a few 100w panels and has expanded. The neighbor got a professionally installed grid tie system. His daughter said something about water in the drywall of her bedroom. Then he noticed water in the livingroom ceiling. Got in the attic next day and found the joists rotted and mold everywhere. Servpro at his house now tearing off the entire roof structure. I have not verified that his install was done by titan but I've seen a few titan systems and they never use flashing on the racking system. They shoot a screw and seal with caulk.

"I can't understand why my roof has leaks after Titan Solar installed my panels".... no flashing and a little roofing tar.
