I have been interested in solar energy for some time. I explored solar energy production first with a single panel and a battery<\/a> as a way to collect some data. We then made the commitment to install solar panels on our roof. This ended up being a multiple-year process as we first had to replace old shingles and then wait for the allocation of rebates to be renewed so we could save a bit on the cost. The process takes some time. First, there is the installation<\/a>, multiple inspections, and finally the connection of your panels to the grid (if you are not using the panels to charge a giant battery). Different organizations are involved at each stage of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was the big day. The power company came out and installed a new bi-direction meter (which tracks energy fed to the grid and from the grid) and a meter specific to our panels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system is connected to the Internet allowing the company who did the install to monitor whether everything is working. The same data are available to us. A couple of screens as examples follow. There is a feature that even explains how many hours the amount of energy you have produced could illuminate a 100 watt light bulb. For data geeks, this is just too much fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
