What do you normally produce per day?

I have a fairly small system. It's only 3.78kw(12 panels). I had it installed in Dec '17 and so far have produced 13.62MWh so the overall daily average is 11.3kWh. I wish I had the space to add some more capacity but as it stands I'm just breaking even. The first year was the worst and when my power company reconciled my use vs production accounts I actually got a cheque for $97 from them. Ya gotta love that.

Brilliant, I love it! I have been generating enough to also get a credit for the last couple of months, but, the summer months are quite brutal from a power consumption point of view. Here’s to free (sort of) energy!

I literally just had my entire front Garden planted with Spring and Summer Flowers. Also planted multiple flowers in pots on my Patio. A small investmentevery Spring. And now this is what we're expecting tomorrow night...

We've got a real mixed bag forecast here for the next week. Currently 10c.

What's your threshold for top down?
After being in Florida 5 years, if its under 70 and over 82 the top is up. When I first moved here is was between 65 and 90

Damn, we were supposed to have snow.

Looked out the window no snow but it is cold

I just received an alert that we are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 6:00 PM EDT. It's 61F (16C) and mostly sunny right now. We're also under a Freeze Warning for tonight, hence the T-storm instability from the approaching cold front.

My lightning sensor is really active right now, picking up 3,300 strikes in the last hour and ranking #4 in the entire world as I write this! It seems to be picking up more hits in the Gulf of Mexico than nearby here in NY State:

In the middle of the Severe Thunderstorm Warning that we were under an hour ago as the cold front passed, some idiot decided that it was an ideal time to send out *multiple* test alerts to all recipients of the state's emergency alert system. Ugh! Imagine being braced for the next alert being a TORNADO warning, and instead receiving "This is only a test" multiple times.

FWIW, the front has passed, the rain is tapering off, and it dropped from 67F (19C) to 44F (6C) in the last hour.....

70 to 90 is my top down sweet spot. Under 70 and I can't take the breeze...over 90 and I can't handle the humidity around here.

Esteban · 04-22-2021, 03:38 AM

Gloomy and cloudy with some rain for the next few days. It figures cause I just had my car detailed.
