CCEnergy Field Rep Marc Dellorco and the
homeowners with their completed solar installation.
Tilt-up rack mounting on the home's
flat roof achieves the angle needed
for optimum solar exposure.
Two rows of panels cover the roof's surface
area on the main living quarters.
Tilted mounting left plenty of walkspace
around the PV panels and two skylights.
The Feichtmeiers happily verify their utility
meter spinning backwards and their
new solar system doing its job.
