 What is the ground like there, were you around when the foundation for the house was dug?

3/26/2016

 
We were not around, but our neighbors were.  They said that our foundation had a small amount of ledge, he thinks on the north side.  No blasting was done.  His basement and the current buried power line only hit shale and were easy to do.  The Site Pictures shows one outcrop in the field where the system will be going.  We do not know if this is a big rock or the tip of something bigger.

Are you aware of the new solar regulations in Hollis?

3/26/2016

 
Yes we are.  Hollis did not specifically allow ground mounted systems.  We worked with the town to create the new regulations.  The specifics of this sytem were taken into account when writing the regulations.

What are you looking to power in your house when the grid is out?

3/26/2016

 
The main idea came from the idea that some day there is going to be a power outage and on a sunny day we are going to be staring at a field of solar panels with no power.  We are also looking at getting an all electric car and don't want to be stuck in a power outage.  The main restriction is that the solution can not go outside the 1 acre the town regulations allow for a ground solar installation.  We also already have solar thermal on our roof.
