My PV Solar Stuff
My Solar Power Installation
Here are a couple of pictures of my 1.710 kW Solar installation.
My solar monitoring in the 1st week (or so)
I have an Eversolar TL1500AS inverter and a PMU.
I’ve been using a Current Cost “Classic” for over two years to monitor my house usage. I’ve been logging the data from that daily using Dale Lane’s “currentcost” software. I have a licence for the Techtoniq software but don’t use it as it really needs a PC on all the time which defeated the purpose IMHO. ( http://wotid.com/target4000/index.html )
I bought a Current Cost EnviR and Bridge for my inverter and linked it to the Current Cost dashboard and Google Power meter so I could monitor the system where ever and when ever I wanted.
The Price I pay for electricity
Unlike just about everything else I buy in bulk, the more I buy the cheaper it is per unit, my electricity supplier charges more per unit the more I use. My electricity meter is read quarterly and now the first 333kW hours are at a lower rate than any over that. (Except during off peak periods.)
