Small Off-Grid Installation adds appeal to latest Show Me Solar Workshop

May 22nd, Auxvasse, Missouri Show Me Solar’s latest solar energy workshop in central Missouri took place at Terra Bella farms situatedDSCF1310 east of Columbia and north of Interstate I-70 between Hatton and  Auxvasse, Missouri.  New members participated in the Show Me Solar workshop while three experienced members – Kevin, Dan and Gary worked to install a small off-grid system taking a small shed on the farm off the local utility service.  Kevin led the installation with help from Dan and Gary.  The system consists of a 45 Watt solar panel, a charge DSCF1315controller, a 1000 watt sine wave inverter and a battery bank.  The system powers two circuits.  One circuit powers a ceiling fan and light fixture and the second provides power for charging cordless tools.  Kevin has been serving as a  director of Show Me Solar and has been gaining experience in solar electric and solar thermal installations since last year.  Jeff led the workshop presentations in the farm house and the class got involved with the install in the afternoon even helping to sink aDSCF1318 grounding rod beneath the small solar panel on the roof of the shed.    The weather was gorgeous and the host even prepared a delicious desert full of berries picked on the farm using a Global Sun Oven just like the solar oven that will go to one lucky winner of the Show Me Solar raffle – see top post on the Show Me Solar SunBeams blog.  All in all the day was extremely productive and the group left Terra Bella farms looking forward to participate in the next Show Me Solar project.  We will post updates on the performance of the Terra Bella solar system here online so bookmark this page and check back from time to time for the latest Show Me Solar news!
