I also expect that the barns are probably too lightly constructed to support that much of a panel load. May have to wait for one of them to get rebuilt in a few years and make sure the roof is strong enough.

There are two more (smaller) barns that could take panels as well. Also, based on what UBNT told me I'd collect over a year, it'd only cover 2/3 of the electric bill. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Bouse [Brazos WiFi]" <j...@brazoswifi.com> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Monday, December 16, 2019 12:22:02 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Larger Scale Solar 104KW of panels?!

It came up with about 416 panels at about 104 kW of production, costing about $140k. I'm assuming that's materials and not installed. I know that when it was announced, Chuck said you can build a system for much cheaper than what Ubiquiti was pushing. Where would one look to see what I'd need to put one of those systems together? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
