Tomorrow this roof will be decorated with some solar panels.

Slightly excited is an understatement
 
Well Done. Mono or poly solar panels? Which inverter did you go with?
 
I am still getting used to solar. As a South African it is weird to have reliable utility provider.

Every night before I go to bed. I pour myself some whisky and pull a chair closer to my inverter and just sit and admire how productive it was for the day.

Beautiful. Here outside Ceres we have very little cloud cover all year round in general. I maintain that people closer to the coast should over spec their solar array by at least 75% to compensate for the annual sunshine.
