Very nice.... I am very impressed and envious!
What are the materials used in the posts and beams?
Was this commercially constructed?
Are you connected to the power grid.... send them electricity all day.... get some back at night?
I live at 36° latitude.... we are seeing PVSolar farms close by.

Hi Sleepy,
Pressure treated timber beams were used.
I GC'd the " Array Structure" myself, then hired a company locally here (Green Convergence) to do the install with SunPower solar products.
I am connected to the grid. Here in California we have "net metering". Which basically means I am billed once a year for the difference in what I produce vs. what I use. The system was built with 15% over production to compensate for future growth (electrical use). The first few years, ill make more than I use and get a check back for the amount I make in excess of use at the rate Edison pays for their Energy (30 cents on the dollar approx).
Looking forward to never having an electric bill again.
Those solar Farms are something to see. The future cometh. :)
