5 Weeks Solar Production

We set another new daily production high of 10.2 KWH on Sunday, blowing past the previous high of 9.6 KWH. And I just realized why. After a day of rain in SoCal, the skies are blue and absolutely clear of clouds and smog. See Current Production Chart thru 5 Weeks.

Total After 5 Weeks:
Production: 250 KWH
CO2 Saved: 415 lbs
Estimated Savings: $50.00

System Size DC (STC): 2.28KW
System Size AC: 1.93KW
System Size AC (California CSI rating): 1.63KW
Panels: 10 Sunpower Serengeti 228 Watt
Inverter: 1 Sunpower 3000M (SMA Sunny Boy 3000 rebranded under Sunpower)
Estimated Annual Production: 2,781 KWH
Direction: East facing

  1. wow. it's already "free", as you expected. I'm always skeptical about the calculators that the installers give you.

  2. Yes. I am very happy with my solar production. I'm cynical too. That's why I like the CSI Calculator tool I talked about in the Buyer's Guide Part 2. This is a solar production estimator tool run by the State of California so you know it's objective.
