Betsy and Josh came by this morning and did a review of the solar system. Bottom line is that they found some problems with the initial wiring of the system. Josh said this should significantly alter the peak performance we are experiencing. The peak for today was 6.156 kW, an insignificant improvement. I told Betsy that I have been seeking either an acknowledgement that there is a problem with the system that they were going to correct OR that there was nothing wrong with the system. Her response was that there was a problem that they were committed to correct. She also said, in their defense, that the reason for their slow response was that this was a rare situation. I gave Betsy print outs of the performance of the system on sunny days and a copy of the installation instructions. I also told her that I was "surprised" to find a charge on our Ameren bill for the new bidirectional power meter. I could not find anywhere in the contract that stipulated we were responsible for this cost. She said that she thought this was stipulated, but if not, they would cover the cost. We will see.
Frank (HAC) also came by. He and Mike reviewed the AC condenser move. I showed Frank the new exhaust fan and louver. He was impressed. He said his goal was to have the sunroom heat pump operational by either the end of this week or early next week. He is going to do an evaluation of our current AC units and give us an estimate on a replacement. The current units were installed in 1992.
Mike and Nate finished the cement board installation and chalked in preparation for more exterior painting. Mike also told me that he believed the slate work was completed.
Mike and Nate also installed the mantel.
The stone for our yard walls arrived and the landscapers started laying them out. We did not hear or see Bob II. I got no confirmation of my phone message yesterday about the power to the yard.
The landscapers also replanted the azaleas in front of the house.
No electrical work again today.
