Panels are attached!

Today marks another milestone in the solar project. All the Sunpower panels have been attached to the trackers. And the tracker work! I was out around 8am and watched as the sun started shining on the trackers, slowly I could see them start tilting towards the sun, and in about 20 minutes they were facing East. Throughout the day they continued to track the sun across the sky. Of course it's winter and the sun is low on the horizon and sets early, but even so, they are working. Can't wait til spring!
