Moving toward the light.

Today a nice crew of hardworking men (Bilingual Hispanics to whom I tip my hat) came to my office and installed an array of 30 BIG photovoltaic panels.  Another crew did the electrical hookups and controllers.  By 4:00, it was done!  I watched in amazement as 400+ volts (you didn't read that wrong) of sheer electric power surged through my system,  MAKING MY ELECTRIC METER TURN BACKWARDS!!!!!! Oh happy dance of joy!!!  Oh brightness and fireworks.!!!  You can't descibe the feeling of seeing that thing spinning in my favor. I had to turn on the air conditioning full blast to get that meter to spin forwards again! Woot!   A bit of the "stick it to da' man"  attitude, combined with an immense sense of civic responsibility, flooded over me.  I am green, I am green, I am green.  Actually more like camo, but I am green.  Now I await the final inspection, and installation by the utilty company of the new mandated meter that actually works right when it runs backwards, so I can KEEP the solar system turned on and bask in the warmth of that limitless supply of energy!  I'll keep you posted.
