My solar panel installation has hit a couple more snags. I managed to generate about 1500 kWh of power in the first month or so before I had to switch it off. Although my power meter is bi-directional capable, Fortis Alberta, the company that operates our power grid, doesn't have my site flagged as micro-generating in their system. To have it flagged and have a bi-directional meter installed, I needed to submit my inspection report, permit and micro-generating agreement to Fortis for review and the found an error. The DC kW capacity in the inspection report and permit didn't match that in the micro-generating agreement. I had to correct the micro-generating agreement and resubmit all the documents. The installer I hired has been absolutely useless and clueless through all of this. Once the last check was cashed, he pretty much flaked out. He keeps telling me, he'll look into it, but does nothing.
Progress on the grant and loan side is pretty much the same story. I had the same energy auditor as last time come out and do the post installation surver. He came out two weeks after the installation was done and was supposed to have all the reports completed and submitted within two weeks. I finally got copies of the reports yesterday, but nothing seems to have been submitted. I'll have to try calling the Greener Homes Grant number again and see what's going on.
