We had a week of sunny days beginning the morning after we turned on the new PV array. Talk about a honeymoon!
The array produces an amazing amount of power under full sun, without the spikes and lulls we get from the wind generator. We start registering incoming power when the sun comes over The Mountain With No Name across the fjord, around 6:30 a.m. and continues, from trickle to flood to trickle again until about 8:00 p.m.! This is in early May; June ought to be very good to us.
