Solar House Team https://sunhome.mst.edu Just another Missouri S&T Sites site Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:26:26 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 109857277 Tied In https://sunhome.mst.edu/2009/10/06/tied_in/ Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:26:26 +0000 https://sunhome.wpblog.mst.edu/2009/10/06/tied_in/ As of late last evening, the team is grid tied on the National Mall.  Passing inspections early allowed us to grid tie about 12 hours ahead of schedule, and also earned us a 29 kWh bonus for pre-competition metering.

A few things went haywire after being tied in, but everything seems to be under control now.  In an effort to conserve energy, the night team will now be working days and taking advantage of natural light (which they haven’t seen in quite some time).

As things come down to the wire, it looks like the team is in good shape.  Maintaining an internet connection remains one of our bigger problems…so stay tuned for another post at a random time when we have one.
