Meter, transformer, breaker box were all mounted on the old pole. Bluebonnet installed a new and larger pole with the larger transformer. An electrician installed a "rack" to hold meter, disconnect switch, and breaker box. All was supposed to be done in a day to minimize my loss of production. Mid afternoon, I found the electrician gone and the breaker box in a mess. I lashed up a circuit to support the three new rails which are producing most of the energy on that meter. Peak power has been ~17kw and probably 11-12kw was coming from the three new rails. If the electrician fails to appear in future days, I'll start lashing up other circuits. Currently now not powered: RV building including roof top PV, well pump, the two other barns.
The old pole was left, at my request, to become a surveillance camera mast.
Two new Emporia energy monitors arrived today. One application will be monitoring the three rails individually.
RIP, John Prine. Who ranks with Townes Van Zandt.

The electrician nearly redeemed himself yesterday. He FINALLY showed up and completed the job. After FIVE days of having electric service due to my own efforts.
I put him to work on two additional, non time critical, projects. Completing the electric run to the site of string inverters for the north side of party shed project. He completed in a couple of hours. Next up is running electric from the new back of house breaker box to a new breaker box in the new garage greenhouse. That, to provide additional power to the south field.
