Bagley downs update ( Panels )

The sheds are ready for the solar tanks. The pipes are coming up from the crawl space. One is the cold water supply for the tanks and the other carries preheated water to water heaters in each unit. The valve configuration is a by-pass for the solar takes in the event they need to be replaced of serviced. The straps hold the tanks in place in the event of an earth quake. The pads on the floor prevent heat transfer from the tanks to the concrete slab.

The sheds will look nice when they get painted. Notice the pipes running to the roof carrying the heat exchange fluid to the collectors. Can you see the collectors on the roof?

4 SunEarth solar collectors plumbed in parallel.
6,000 lb. reach fork lift delievers collectors to the roof. THANKS Pape' rentals
Is that me sitting down on the job? No of course not. Hahaa
You can't always depend on the 6,000 lb reach fork lift. This is a 1930 scissor lift, it can be operated from the ground.
This pic is taken from the east side of the canal and you can almost see all eight buildings we putting solar on.
