On June 14, 2004 in the late afternoon we turned on our system for good.\u00a0 We haven’t thrown the breakers since.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’ll give you statistics on energy produced by the system.\u00a0 I believe that the total is about 6,300 kWh.\u00a0 I don’t have numbers on our home’s usage for the year – the first good meter reading after installation was July 2004 (PSE&G botched the June reading), so I’ll come back with more details later.<\/p>\n
