Solar Power

Our new solar panels went online two weeks ago.  One guy came out from AES and a couple of guys from Egyptian Electric.  It took a little time, swapping out and installing new meters, checking out the equipment one last time, then finally throwing the switch.  It took a few minutes for the system to boot up, but they said they said they knew it was working; the meter on the pole was running backwards.  Pretty cool, huh?

It's been two weeks that the system has been harvesting sunlight and turning it into electricity.  We've had our share of rain, and several overcast days.  Even so, the system has produced over 544 kilowatts of electricity so far.  I think that's pretty neat.  If you are one of the many people wondering how much a solar system can produce, there's some information for you.
