Monsoon today and Thunder/Lightning

Yes, 7/31/11 went out with a bang! Thunder and Lightning. The monsoon was heavy in the morning and gone in the afternoon. It was the weirdest solar graph I have seen in the whole time I have had solar. Very cool looking graph but not much output. At least I made over 650 kWh this [...]

Leaks and solar

When it rained for six days and my dining room was all wet, a call to my Sungevity rep and within 30 minutes they were here with a roofer to check it all out. Nobody knew if it was a pipe leak, the solar installation or underground. The water flooding company wanted $500 to get [...]

291 was the final total for December

I was close at 300, but 291 is not bad for such a cloudy month with so much rain. Who knew there would be six days of rain? Not me. Here is the information on the website of the Kaco Inverter. Happy New Year! Shine on!
