elhoffI have been really happy with my photovoltaic system so far.
Last Oct and Nov it generated really well. It suffered more than I had hoped during the Dec and Jan, but March has been awesome. Today it generated 70% of the electricity I used. Cumulative since installation it has generated 30% of my electricity. This should increase until I turn on the AC in June. It should be interesting to see how the summer months fair.
I did notice a couple days ago that the panels were looking a bit dusty...maybe need to rinse them. Was hoping that was only going to be a once a year activity, but I am starting to think it will be more often.
