All of the Solar Panel reports are working now. This is my fav one. It's from yesterday which was an overcast, rainy day. The blue vertical lines are power production. They begin at sunrise and end at sunset. On a sunny day it will resemble a bell curve but because of yesterday's varying cloud cover it looks a bit of a mess like a dragon's back. The orange vertical lines are the combined power usage from Haven, Mjolnir, and Sleipnir. They tell the tale of my day from when the hot water heater kicked in, to when I turned on the stove for breakfast, the oven for lunch, and recharged the Roomba. Another report has an icon for each panel of the array. I can check that each panel is working to full capacity. As Olson Solar Energy Rep Cody explained, one of their customer's was away from their home for an extended period of time but noticed from their report that a panel wasn't producing as much as the others. Cody was sent to the home to see if the microinverter had an issue. The problem turned out to be a small tree sprouting up and shading a portion of one panel. Today is sunny and I'm doing two loads of laundry - will be an entirely different looking report. I swear this new toy will keep me amused for months.
