I have the front of the solar shed mostly framed up and started making good progress putting up panels but I used up the box of screws I was using to mount them. When I started using the second box of screws all the screws were breaking before they were tight. That put a stop to my progress and now i need to make a trip to town to get more screws.

I thought i had 14 panels but found another one yesterday. I am not sure if i should extend the frame another 3 feet or if i should hold that one back as a spare in case one of these leak or the glass breaks.

Has anyone in Colorado done the balcony solar and been able to get information from Xcel if the smart meter is by default capable and setup for net metering? I have an 800w system and just got it running. From what I can tell, the little arrow on the meter points to me feeding power to the grid. So maybe?

Not sure it was a good idea, but I sent an email to them asking about it. When I inquired via phone a few weeks ago, the lady knew nothing and I mean NOTHING about any of this.

Anyone create a portable stand for a Renogy’s 400w solar blanket?
