Statistics for March 2010

3.66mwh total with a maximum of 7661W. That means that in March I generated a 1MWH of power. My meter has not advanced (on average) the whole month. It also means that for the second time I've generated more power than the system is rated to generate. Now witness the full power of this fully installed and operational solar electric system.

This really is so totally cool. I'm damn glad I got this done.

11/7/09-12/7/09 power generated

510 KWH, still haven't passed the max generated amount of 6686W, but that's not surprising. In theory, I'll generate about the same amount from 12/7/09-1/7/09 as I did this month, because I have the trees cut back more and intend to cut them back further on 12/21/09 which should be the day the most branches shade the roof as the day the sun is lowest in the sky. All of course depending on me keeping the snow off the roof. I need to go buy some implements to make that easier.

I'm missing a lot of statistics here, just getting the bare minimum because otherwise I'd have to take the readings daily just before sundown and I can't reasonably do that. I really wish REC had included a monitor with this system like I asked, even if I had to pay for it. I tried several times to get a monitor put in, but it failed.

So far I've generated 1.13MWH of electricity in 2 months during the winter. I can't wait to see what it generates during the summer.
