I saw that one and yeah I know you've got an array. It's good that there's a dual purpose, cost saving and the environment. Have you noticed that it's made you use power differently, be more conscious of how you use it? It has for me.
I'm also wondering, do you have a system to self-monitor it? I have the Enphase system, regarded as the better one, on one house and the other uses the Fronius system which is good, although the free version (which I use) doesn't have the ability to drill down like the Enphase one.
Heh heh you're using too many technical terms for me lol!
I have an app that allows me to control panels and batteries, so I know how much I accumulate and how much I enter into the network; as far as the earnings are concerned, it is approximate and is expressed in yen :-(
however, I am registered with the GLS of my country, practically the company that carries out the exchange on the spot and from their site I can find out exactly how much I have earned every month by re-introducing electricity into the grid.
Obviously, like everything in Italy, it's a bit of a rip off because they pay me around 8 cents (it's the minimum, from there you can go up depending on the period... in February, for example, they even paid 50 euro cents ), but I always pay much more on the bill than what they give me to use our electricity.
But it's always better than nothing ;-)
Yeah, that's what I meant, production and consumption; it's good to know it, the patterns. Erm, Yen? What the fuck? Lol.
This is also important. It's a recent feature added to Enphase and I've drawn attention to it in this post. To see it expressed in a dollar value makes it hit home.
Same here my brother, same here. That's how life goes these days. I'd not be upset to see electricity go off (world wide) forever...That'll sort the men out from the boys. Alas, here we are...and we have to accept it as it is.
Yes, unfortunately some things must be accepted as they are; on the other hand it's better to spend your energy and focus on what you can change and accept what isn't... at least at the moment ;-)
