At long last we are now scheduled for installation of our rooftop solar system. Solsmart has notified us that our start date is in the week of August 18. Two factors have been working against an earlier start date. Frequent rainy days in June and July have kept our contractor on the ground instead of on the rooftops of other projects ahead of us. And high levels of solar installation activity around the province are keeping pressure on suppliers to deliver materials on time. Soon you will see materials arriving and being stored on the property. Then our site will be abuzz with installation staff, trucks, and equipment. During this time, please regard our property as a construction site during this time and practice extra diligence when entering and exiting the property and building. Signs on site will give important safety information. Your cooperation and patience during this period are greatly appreciated.
