Our Solar



For those interested in Solar stats from our residence at Underwood I have setup an account with
PVOutput its a free service allowing you to upload data from you Solar array via a computer to their web site. 

Managing to stay in credit so far, so no power bill from our Energy provider  System is from Positronic being 3 KW in size consisting of 12 X 250w ET panels with a Xantrex 2.8 KW Inverter.

Have added a Widget to the right for your viewing pleasure, will open a graph on the PV Output Website with our latest Solar stats.

Record day on the 12th of October ....19KWh @ 50 cents a kw





Program that runs on my EeePC for uploading data to PVOutput. SGT Solar Inverter




Xantrex 2.8 KW Grid Tie Solar Inverter. Has been a reliable unit so far. Only issue has been the LCD display, it was missing numbers in the display module which Positronic is replacing. Even though the unit is mounted externally it isn't exposed to direct sunlight to often. No noise from the unit at all so overall quite happy with the Xantrex.
