Today’s Reno News and Review weekly has a great article about our work in general, and the project we’re doing in Lovelock in particular-click the image below to read the whole thing, and then click on our “what are we working on right now?” page to help us help the Lovelock Elementary School–over $1,300 $2200 $4800 $6,000 raised as of June 9th.

Looks like everything is all wrapped up and in order, so tomorrow at noon there will be a dedication ceremony and ribbon cutting at the array in Lovelock. Pictures and updates to follow.

A small crew of full-time volunteers has set the posts and installed the electrical runs for the 90 kw Gerlach array. We are currently held up by the availability of the racking system, which has been scheduled for delivery on November 30. As soon as the racking arrives, we will be ready to move full speed ahead to get all of the components mounted and connected up. In this project we have learned that the only constant is change, so we are all staying as flexible we can. I have uploaded a few pictures of the Gerlach installation here.

The crew is heading out to Lovelock on November 5th to begin the 30kw installation at the Pershing General Hospital. This is a smaller array utilizing a simpler racking system and the crew is charged up to git’er done. Keep your eyes open for more updates and photos over the next few weeks.
