Two Months Later
November 12, 2009
This diagram sums up the daily power generated by our solar system for the first two months of her life. You can pretty much tell our micro weather just by looking at it, except on three days.
As you can see, three power readings are missing. Before Oct. 25, David didn’t have his fslurp package ready to automatically read data from the inverter. Every morning he had to remember to go to the garage and write down the previous day’s power reading. As being a normal human being, he forgot about to do that a couple of times.
On Oct. 25, we lost power shortly after 5:40pm, the last recorded reading. This little incident was enough to made our inverter lose her memory on how much power she had generated that day… So David decided to throw away the previous day’s reading to avoid seeing an erroneous zero reading in the middle of diagram.
So there, now you got the full picture of our solar system’s performance and our local weather. Oh, yes, our power bill has dropped down significantly, even though we won’t break even in another 9 or 10 years.
