 I keep thinking I should keep track of the daily output in a journal. So here it goes.

JANUARY 2008 24 KC 130w PV panels only. The production is from the Sunny Boy PV generation figures. The Sunny Island and Webbox power handling figures are a little misleading, as they seem to include power to the batteries, and count it again as it leaves the batteries. Our system is OFF GRID at the moment. It is necessary to manually switch from grid to Green and back with a two pole 200 amp disconnect in front of the home's entrance service panel. Update August 08...still off grid operation. No grid tie or synchronized AC operation. Without intervention from Missouri Congress, it will not happen due to a huge $1,000,000 liability exposure that already caused my property liability to cancel coverage, even without grid tie.

Early June 08-Aug 08...now that my new battery bank is installed, I rarely ever switch to grid power. Just twice in two months, and just for a few hours each time, over night.

6/17/08 19:49, JUST HAD A LONG HOT SHOWER!! It can't get better than this...57 degrees C. Solar Hydronic hot water, 95% battery soc. PV production 24.03 KWh. All from Sol. Zero Carbon Emission. !!Cool!!

7/2/08 Wind turbine finally 100% operational. I had to jam a stick into the controller to keep it connected and working!!! Welcome to technology! Same problem and solution with the solar hydronic control. If anyone needs sticks to jam into their system to make them work, give me a call.
