Got them dug out and tweaked the up angle on the tracker. The sun is higher in the sky!!!

I now have a little path dug down to the panels. Still need the tall boots,
but now it doesn't take five minutes to slog though waist deep snow with a crust on top..

Yesterday, I got out there early and freed up the bottom panel on the tracker.
When the ice broke, it buzzed and started moving west! I got there just in time!
I'm not sure if the motor could have broken it free..

So, now we ready for another foot. But not two feet!

Loads of sun today. Some of hotwater heating from the 400w fixed
full bank charge from the 500w tracker..
