I’m learning how to read the meters that come with my solar panels. Today I figured out that 057 means I’m producing more than I’m using, and I was.
When the city finally let me turn on my panels 9 days ago my usage for the month at that time was $46 for 11 days of usage, which is about $4.18 per day. Today my usage for the month so far is $57 which means that in 9 days I have used $11 dollars worth of electricity, which is $1.22 per day. During my 9 days of solar so far, we’ve had more cloudy days than sunny and a couple of frog strangling rainstorms. That is a savings of nearly $3.00 per day despite the clouds.
You can follow my experience with going solar and getting off the gas at the links below.

This is great! It’s summer time here in our area. It’s hot and humid as hell. This could be the right time to use Solar Panels to save.
