Checked in on the solar stats after a week of nice weather when I wasn't home.

Total 1.1 MWH production YTD.

146 kWh in January but this is lower than the normal number since the array was down for a week or two between commissioning and final inspection.

393 kWh in February, the first full month of operation.

574 kWh in March to date and there's still a few days left, good chance I'll hit 600.

Best day so far was last Sunday the 22nd with 34.9 kWh output although I've had several other days come close.

Still not nearly enough to fully match my consumption, but I wasn't expecting that especially this time of year.

@azonenberg 🤯 I wouldn't want to be paying that here in Belgium. Last year total day/night consumption was 828/478 kWh.

@vbaeten When I first bought the place the rates were like under 10 cents a kWh, they've gone up significantly recently (like 20-30% each year) to the point that solar rapidly started to make a lot of sense.

Then with the tax credits expiring end of tax year 2025 I figured it was now or never and jumped on it

@vbaeten the lab is my main source of power consumption and it's a pretty steady ~4.5 kW base load 24/7, my load doesn't fluctuate much day vs night

@vbaeten (also to clarify, the post you're commenting on is the amount generated by my solar array... actual demand was much higher than production)
