Guess when it started raining...
It took "just" a month of bureaucracy and many wasted cloudless sunny days/weeks, but it's finally operational.
And just as we turned it on, a huge thunderstorm cloud covered the whole sky and we had a downpour of rain. Sign of the weather to come as per Murphy's laws?
I wondered: do solar panels generate any electricity during a full moon?
Quick search says that a full moon is between 0.03% and 0.3% of a sunny day. That is not enough to activate the inverters that convert the DC back to AC.
I'll post an update on this once we get to our next cloudless full moon. #SolarPower #MoonPower
China and India just hit a milestone the world hasn’t seen since 1973: coal power use dropped in both countries at the same time — while energy demand kept rising. Solar and wind are scaling faster than fossil fuels. 🌍⚡

Been on-the-fence for years about getting solar panels. Needed to fix the roof first, which I did early this year. Now the solar panels were installed today.
Electric meter is running backwards, even on this very overcast day. I'm so excited about this. Finally feel like I'm doing something to help. #SolarPower #Okanagan #BC
