Try the map here. Message 24443490 I made 108 KWH over my usage last month. But it was a fairly dry month, so I didn't get rained out a lot. One thing is that you will reduce your consumption in all sorts of little ways when you first see the dial spinning backwards, and then start going forwards again. Took me about a week to figure out I needed to put all those little red lights on the TV and such on a surge protector so I could turn them totally off. Figured out I didn't need surround sound for the news, so I started using just the TV sound. Figured out I couldn't internet and watch TV at the same time, so I leave it off a lot. Found out I could live without turning on the waterbed heater, and that is saving a bunch; I was only running it half time last year, but I'm guessing it used 1KW/hr. I've got 7x200W panels. Specs say something like 5.25KWH/day. I've made 9.25 several times. Made 0.3 a lot more.
