Thank you for the very nice comment!

There were a lot of moths in the inverter, and the guy that works for the solar company told me that one of his customer's boards got fried because a spider crawled over it and made a connection and POOF! $500 board fried!!! I didn't know about the bedbugs, those things are so nasty.

We did elastomeric the roof which helped, but I think we need to elastomeric the southern exposure side, as lots of heat comes thru that. An earthbag berm is actually a really good idea.

No plants for us, although we don't get past the low 90s (AZ mountains) the water is the issue. Good thought.

Hope all is well for you!
