Solar Electric is cool!

In December 2012 I had my solar electric panels installed by Solar Tops.
The equipment is impressive and the technicians got them installed very quickly.

I’m now generating a Mega Watt of electricity per month. As the days get longer it is interesting to watch the daily totals.  In central Arizona we have had some cloudy days recently and my electrical output has dropped by 60% on those days so I’m now a real Sun’s fan.

And now I have another reason to love sunny days when I generate over 36KW, cloudy days are as low as 10KW, so trying to keep my peak during the sunniest part of the day. I shutdown computers and other equipment overnight, programmed the computers to automatically boot-up at 7am. 

The reporting software is also very nice, I have solar panels on the east(YELLOW) & west (GREEN) sides of my house. The west does produce more but the east side isn’t far behind.
