That was easy (but don't try this at home)

Robbie Thomas, President of Efficient Energy of Tennessee made the historical installation of the first utility scale Solar PV System at 1 Megawatt look easy. Truth be known the system has been in the planning stages for 18 months. The commitment to thorough planning and engineering allowed Efficient Energy of Tennessee to complete the 1 MW Solar PV installation in less than three months! That is over 11,000 watts a day.
