In other news, today was the sunniest day since getting our solar hooked up and the breaker wiring fixed and we produced a whooping 88.54 kWh which ~20 kWh more than our prior best day. For this time of year, it is probably 3x-4x more energy than the house needed on a day like today.

I'm a bit worried about shade, though, when some of the trees fill in with leaves later. Guess we'll see!

I'm pretty much guessing about power usage of the house since I have no good way to measure it or graph it against the solar generation, sadly. Data from the meter supplied by the power company is horribly lagged and limited and I've got no other kind of smart device in the wiring. Maybe someday. I'm sure there are gadgets that could be wired right into my breaker box or something. (Probably for some high cost I don't want to pay.)

@bigzaphod Emporia vue is $200 and not that difficult to install if you’re comfortable opening your panel. Check with your electric company. Mine gave me a rebate that pretty much paid for the monitor
