Has warmed up here. A nice 70's day. At least the wind has died down.
Got up this morning to take down the old pool solar panels, and cart off
to the dump. Nice to not have to worry about the wind blowing them down
the street as I removed them. New solar panel time.

Just curious, how many years did you get out of the old ones? What's the
reason for the new ones? Solar power has never made much of an inroad
around here (NJ). I always assumed our cloud cover was to blame. The
few panels I see here, look to be for domestic hot water heat. I can't
say I've ever seen any for pool heating, except for those floating pool
cover things.
