North Wind Preparations
It's another windy day in TorC. Gusts are expected up to 60 mph. I
went out this morning and took down our shade cloth over our porch and
confirmed that the solar panels were tightened down. The part of the
forecast that concerns me the most is the 30 mph northwest winds
anticipated for this evening. That is a big deal because those winds
get right behind the solar panels. Mental Note: When you setup a PV
solar system do not us top of pole mounts if at all possible. It is a
lot easier to maintain ground based systems and they will be exposed
to less threatening wind.
