SOL: 31May2018
Name of person filing report: Shannon Rupert
Non-nominal systems: Only me! Only me!
Notes on non-nominal systems: This morning I took on the power system again. I changed two settings on the AC controls to what I believed meant the solar took precedence over the generator for delivery of power to the generator. I had been working on this system without any improvement for so long that I didn’t give it another thought except that I would have to keep running the generator as the SOC fell during the day. But it never fell! We are back on solar power. I’m not declaring complete victory yet, but I am hopeful. In addition, the contractor will be here on Saturday to go over the system with me.
Generator (hours run): Turned off at 8 am, will turn back on at 8 pm

General notes and comments: AC to GreenHab completed. AC in Hab not yet installed.
Today was the first full day of the URC and my judging duties kept me from working on the things I had hoped to do. They will have to wait, too tired tonight to do anything more.
