Keeping track of the solar trends
Interesting trends here.. in October, our YOY solar use went UP! But that looks to be because last year at that time we had one of our lowest months ever (254). Still, Oct of 2008 was 54% less than 2 years ago (pre-solar). November returned us to good trends, with a 36.5% decrease YOY in solar consumption. And, like October, 54.6% over 2 years ago. So, in general, the trends continue to be good. These are good months, we don’t use the A/C and the sun remains strong on our panels. It’s kind of cool to use the clothes line, but Aviva is great and will if it’s warm enough.

An $5 a month or 8.4% increase in the price of electricity just helps the solar panels ROI get achieved faster..
