    Hello, I am Andy from arkansas, usa

    Hello, I am new here. My name is Andy and I am from Arkansas in the United States. We have had our just under 12 kw solar array for almost a month. I am hoping to converse with people who are more knowledgeble than I am with solar power equipment. I will be positing my questions in the appropriate areas.

      Thank you Mike. I am looking forward to getting to know other people who have gone solar and interested in the arrays they have. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time. My family and I have finally been able to do it and are pleased so far with the results.

        Just a hint, I assume you installed a 12 KW array rather than a 12 KWh array. That extra h makes a lot of difference. KW is a rate (equivalent to a MPH in car), KWh is a quantity (miles).

        Always helps if we talk the same language . welcome

          Thank you peakbagger. I will edit my post to correct that. It is likely that this won't be the last mistake I make with my words. And I am grateful for you pointing it out to me. You are right about it will be easier for my questions to be answered if I ask them correctly.
