    Power Generation Results

    We had a strong beginning to the second quarter. For the first time monthly power generation exceeded modelled projections,  796 kWh vs. 692 kWh (kWh vs. kWh). Other notable results included breaking the 40kWh / day barrier three times over the month.   Net income for the month, after charges by the utility, were $300.26 up…

    It must be sunny ways. Yesterday’s solar production reached a couple of benchmarks. First, the stream of electricity being produced reached the maximum system output: 5KW. A first since installation. Second, production for the day accumulated 34.59 kWh passing the 30 kWh  benchmark which is our average daily consumption.  That is, we produced more electricity…

  • Solar Panels: 18 Day Assessment (Part 4)

    in:

    In this last part I summarise the key points and observations.   In Part 3 of this article, I provided our family’s carbon generation profile as a case study and examined some of the steps we could take to meet the 2020, 2030, and 2050 targets.  The points and observations below incorporate data from that…

    Solar Panels: 18 Day Assessment (Part 3)

    In Part 3 of this article, I present our household and individual carbon generation data as a case study. In Part 2 of this article I introduced a role for residential solar power generation facilities in helping us meet our Green House Gas commitments.  While individual contributions may appear inconsequential, they add up.  The goal…

  • Solar Panels: 18 Day Assessment (Part 2)

    in:

    In this second part I look a little more into broader questions around the benefit of residential solar power generation for the environment and addressing climate change targets. I am not an expert on this subject so any conclusion should be suspect.  As best I can I’ve tried to collect information from reliable sources, such…
