| Removal of old inverters |
 |
| They are now gone... |
 |
| Actually - they are sitting on the wall across the sidewalk (reflected in the chrome) - the space at the bottom there is where the new components are to go in. |
 |
| New inverter/charger |
 |
| The plan is for it to go into the caged area where the other two inverter/chargers used to be, and the solar controller will mount on the "door". |
 |
| Mounting plate for the solar controller. It has quite precise requirements for its installation - 6 inches above the floor, well ventilated... |
 |
| New AGM batteries... |
 |
| A total of 6 of them! |
 |
| All of that stuff needs to find a place somewhere in the bus! |
 |
| They told me that the thing with the blue thingy inside the plastic bulb was a "flux capacitor", but I'm pretty sure they were kidding! |
 |
| Some of the items finding their location. |
 |
| While Michael was working in the bay, Dwayne and I worked on finishing the wiring on the roof - it is going down through a roof vent into the bus. |
 |
| ... through the top of the vent cover... |
 |
| ... conduit connected together into the vent cover. |
 |
| We covered the panels with cardboard while we were working on the wiring so we wouldn't have DC power on the wires from the sun. |
 |
| Michael had additional help from the neighbor children - I'm sure that helped him a LOT! |
