Power Output Update

Ok, today was a very clear cloudless day and I checked the power output at 1:30 pm. The system was producing 4850kw. This is the most I have ever seen the system produce. Total output today was 29.5 KwH. I now have a better understanding as to how the longer days (as opposed to winter solstice) will affect the systems daily output. Overall, the system has only produced 256 Kwh. This is the first truly sunny day since my reading last month on 1/20/10.
If we were able to produce this amount of electricity every day, our energy bill would be essentially zero.
