10 days or less until I can connect to the grid!

T-10 days until I’m okay to connect to National Grid. I got an email from National Grid Friday that they will be here in 10 business days or less to connect us to the grid.




A few weeks ago I had to sign the agreement Form K

Niagara Mohawk, d/b/a National Grid,Standardized Contract For Interconnection of New Distributed Generation Units of 2 MW or Less, to be Operated in Parallel, Form K


This form,  in short, says that I agree that can disconnect me at any time they want . I can inturn disconnect from them too.

I had to spend another $ 150 dollars for an inspection of the wiring.

Here is the equipment wired in my garage. I guess it isn’t rocket science to figure out that all this equipment takes power to run, even when the wind is not blowing. So be prepared that if you start out in a low wind time of year you're going to use more than you produce just having the system running. You do have the option of just turning it off on days when you are sure that there will be no wind. Once I can turn the system on, I’ll let you know what wind speed is require to run the equipment without any power lost.
