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.
