Klause,

Are your meter photos showing that only 77 kw has been received over the last 365 days, or just in the last hour? I am assuming it is over the last 365 days as the amount put into the grid is way more than the hourly licenced capacity.

If it is only 77 kW over the last 365 days, there must be something else going on the keep the place warm at night, as 77KW is nothing.

Guess I am still not totally following the numbers.

Data without time frame, not too meaningful.

365 days. One year. Last Thanksgiving to this Thanksgiving.

Net metering


Power used over 24 hours. If you produce more than you consume you dEL if you consume more than you produce that day you rEC


What this shows is that except for an odd day the solar system produced more power every.single.day. than the home needed.


We don't have the same billing ad Alberta. Just 14.5 cents a kwh for power, carbon tax, and gst line items.


The basic charge is around $40 I gotta go look at a solar bill

TY Klause.

Thanks for the real world solar numbers and explanations. I never dreamed that more energy would be produced in Winter months than is consumed with the short days and huge demand for lights and heat. Might be more potential than I realized. More so if affordable storage for the excess solar power happens.

I see a lot of job creation happening with design engineers, installers, trouble shooters, wire manufacture and sales, etc. Hopefully Canada can get going and be world leaders instead of farming this all out to other countries.
