Power Output

Here’s yesterday’s stats. That’s a graph showing our kWh output. What’s interesting to see is that power (though not much at times) was being generated from before 8am until almost 8pm. I’m not quite clear on the 9.588 kW measurement considering our system is made up of 32 215w panels. The most it can put […]

100% Awesome!

I’m almost embarrassed to say it, but we’ve got a new Wii habit going. Back when I bought the Wii and Rockband for Jen, I also bought Dance, Dance Revolution. For some reason we decided to finally pull it out. Basically it’s very similar to Rockband in that you listen to music and do various […]

Playmates

Mmmmm Butternut Squash

Jen made some butternut squash. It was awesome. Abigail didn’t think so. Nope. Didn’t like it one bit. She’s gotten smart too. She’ll just hold it there in her mouth. She won’t close, lick or swallow – just leave it there hanging on her tongue, lip or wherever we managed to get it. Lucky for […]

We Got Solar

Peco was here yesterday morning to plug in their meters. Within 20 minutes, he was done and I fired up the system by 8:30 am. By the time I had left for work around 9:15 am we had already produced 1kWh. After nine hours, the system produced a total of 35 kWh. We put 5kWh […]
