I always wondered what you do in winter. Do you constantly have to clean off the snow and I guess be careful to not damage the panels with shovels and scrapers??

I’m assuming we have similar snow here and it just slides off, no need to shovel or scrape.

What's the life expectancy of the panels Jocke?
How did you decide which to choose?

Another fine example of craftsmanship by our resident Renaissance man.

Nice work, Jocke!

Well done Jocke. We added solar panels to our home and love them. We are net zero on our hydro bill

Dang Jocke….

I am in Stockholm now and really wondering if a roof mounted rain water collection and drip turbine might be more efficient for power generation than solar panels.

Dang, my wine budget has increased dramatically in the past 13 years.

For a reliable sub $100 bottle, I really like the Rodney Strong Reserve or Single Vineyard offerings. They are usually around $75 and uniformly consistent quality.
