Solar System Performance: Year One Post Mortem

Year One was a disappointment; not entirely, there is room for improvement to be sure, but I had expected more.

I suppose you could say that this is a good news/bad news story. And we’ll get to that, but first some background. We commissioned the 12,000W solar system in mid-April of last year, therefore May of 2023 was our first full month with the solar system in operation. The year under review is then 2023 May through 2024 April. I’m going to get into this in some detail, and then write about our options for the future. If you are considering solar, or already have some solar energy capacity in place, this post is for you.
