While Im off to amsterdam for a trade show for a week construction is continuing.
I'm done with high energy prices and blistering heat.
Step 1 - Owens Corning cool roof with SRI above 20. Best thing they make some say the white is ugly but with the grey trim I dont think its too bad, either way I'm throwing the best tech I can buy at it outside of a stand off metal roof.
Step 2 - Solar - installed mounts for 20 - 400W panels powered by Enhpase Iq8's. Panel onstall next week. All gear delivered on the ground ready to install.
Step 4- Whole house fan is already in - Check . ADDED 6 Ohagin vents so I can run it on high without blowing out the room its in 6500CFM moves a lot of air.
Step 5- Attic fan in. Check
Yesterday was 110 in Penn Valley and the upstairs got no hotter than 80 without AC, WITHOUT cooling the house down prior. A local fire prevented the whole house fan from being used.
PGE Continues to be the lamest utility Ive dealt with in my life. Power has been out at minimum 8 hours every day of the heat wave and the whole house genset has covered beautifully if not expensive comparatively from a $ per KWH perspective.
