State of our house power
My husband has set up a home energy server to show our power production and consumption. We run completely off-grid, mostly on solar with a veggie-oil powered diesel backup. Hit 'refresh' when looking at the page to see changes the 'charger watts' parameter - which shows the output of the solar panels. Our best total collection day so far has been around 6.5 kilowatt-hours, but that's with only half the panels deployed (the rest are awaiting construction of their frames). When we moved in we were delighted to have the most tree-y yard in the neighborhood, but now we have serious Sun Envy :) ¶ 12:01 PM
