The graph below shows the battery bank voltage from 12 am onward. You can see the solar input jump up at 9 AM, then the battery bank does an absorption charge, and then finally a float charge.

Remote Monitoring
Just started getting the remote monitoring set up on one of our PV installations, using Apollo electronics and monitoring. The information is really useful. Here is just one of the parameters:

I love the way the alternative energy technology gets better every day.

Solitario Solar
We recently completed a couple of solar racks using the Version 1.3 of our design, which works great. The new design uses grease-able pillow block bearings at the pivot points.
So this past Friday and Saturday, Arick and I set up two more PV arrays in the Solitario. They look even better with panels on them! Shouldn't be very long now until all six are up and pumping current.
