Build notes

Built in 2004, re-metered in 2024

We built this roof in 2004, re-metered it in 2024, and it is still producing 92% of its original yield. It is the reason we now warranty production for twenty-five years rather than fifteen.

Two string inverters were replaced in year eleven. Every module is original.

What was installed

  • 1,040 modules at 175 W, original to 2004
  • Two string inverters replaced in 2015
  • Continuous monthly metering since commissioning
  • Production record used to set our 25-year warranty

Every module is original. Two inverters were not.

The full twenty-two year production record is available to any owner who asks for it.
