    Solar Power - Self Install or Not?

    The way the SMA Secure Power works is that it feeds a separate 120 V outlet that has no interconnection with the grid.

    It's what's called an East-West Array. The 40 panels have an Azimuth of 120 degrees and the 20 panels Azimuth is 300 degrees. Overall it results in about 15% less production than a due South 180 degree Azimuth array. One of the benefits of an east west array is that you get better production...

    I finally got a chance to try the new cameras. The order appears to be exactly what I ordered packed and arrived in perfect shape. The lens size is written on both the box and camera sticker but it's about 6 pt font so easy to miss. I did receive the 12mm and 4 mm I ordered and the cameras...
