Solar Panels Installed

This is the start of The Ruck Bus blog. I will be writing about the project as I go. Installing the solar panels was not as difficult as I anticipated. With the help of my father, my neighbor and his friend, the four of us were able to get the mounting rails and the two lower panels on the roof. These were put together in the garage because it was easier to lay out on the floor. It also made for an easier installation of the slider rails to the mounting rails. I still have to grab one more bracket because I misplaced one. I will go tomorrow morning to grab that from the same guy I got the panels from. The extension cables that I purchased to go from the roof to the controller didn't seem to fit the connectors of the solar panels. I have to get new cables but there is no rush to do that. There is still more work to be done. I will be driving from New York to Georgia where I will complete the electric work with a friend of mine I call Pinto.
