December 2010 solar generation

500 kwhs this month. Should be the lowest month each year both because of the tilt of the planet and because December is generally kind of cloudy here. Still quite respectable. 12.2 MWHs generated total this year, and I'm pretty sure I'll never have to pay for electricity again. I generated 110kwhs more this december than I did last december, possibly because I managed to get the tree cut back. It's still not cut back far enough, but to do that I'd pretty much have to top it and cut it down. I really don't want to have to cut down my tree, and it doesn't obscure more than a panel at a time in the winter, so I think I'll leave it.
