Golfers are more concerned about where their balls landed.
We have not felt there were privacy issues. |

Roof mounted Solar PV system generates 8.3kW
This system generates about 900Kw a month
View 18 month graph
|
Solar supplies the needs of the
house and the rest goes out to the grid.
Data shows it generates nearly a megawatt a year.
We feel that it is the right thing to do to harvest some of the abundant
sunlight.

Unusual large pencil tree
|
Pool looking Northeast |
|
Solar Pool Water Heater 2022
An automatic valve directs water to this system around 11AM and extends the swimming
season by several months. There is so much free energy from the sun here
that we felt "why not"!
