Why do we love sunshine?
Because we've got solar panels on our roof!
How much solar power do we have?
We've got a 2.4kW system - which is as big as our roof space would allow for, which means in full blazing sun we make 2.4kW. So an hour of sunshine makes 2.4kWh - in the middle of the day when all the panels are in full sun.So how much energy (power) do we make?
On a day like today - a glorious blue sky summer day we typically generate a little over 14kWh.Solar display panel for 8th January 2014 |
What do our power bills look like?
Quite simply they are more of a credit note than a bill!
The really nice thing is our solar system will have paid for itself in about three and half years from now. Which we think is $6,000 well spent!
