Ok, so I'm a few days late in getting this moment of celebration posted here, but we now have a fully functioning solar power system! It went live on Monday and has been functioning beautifully since. We have now regained use of an actual refrigerator and freezer and we can use normal outlets again. We discovered that our battery bank is undersized for our solar panels, so we are losing a fair chunk of their production each day once the batteries are full. At some point in the future, we will likely upgrade the batteries to higher amp hour ones to correct that, but for the moment we're doing fine.

We also met with the contractor, John Schmidt, who will be doing our driveway, water line, septic system and the foundation for the cabin. He dropped off this beauty yesterday and we should start seeing some things changing at the farm over the next week or so. Exciting times are here!
