Solar Panels Information
Does anyone know anything about Solar Panels?
We just recenlty purchased a bank owned home and the previous owners left no information behind regarding the solar panels which consume the whole south side of the house. We are not sure what they are hooked up to, how they work, how to tell if they are working or even how to use them. Finding someone in our area with expertise on solar panels is proving to be a challenge. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Your really in a tight spot. The pannels could be either power or water heating. I don't think anyone can really answer this question without looking at the panels first hand. Also we would need to know if you have battery banks, inverter, or recircualtion pump (for water) etc.
I think you best bet is to stop trying to find a solar contractor and call an electrician. He many not be effecient in solor but should be able to diagnose your system type and check to make sure the system is either on or off line. If you let the contractor know what your trying to find out, I'm sure they will send one of thier best electricans to your location. As the same time, don't be surprised if he shows and tells you that you need to call a plumber.
