We’ve gone solar

A little slow with the news as first I was waiting for the scaffolding to come down so I could actually take a picture and then Christmas overtook me.  Why do I get it wrong every year – it’s not exactly a moveable feast.

Pretty much since the day we signed the contract for the panels the weather turned and we’ve had grey days, flurries of snow, lots of rain and precious little sun, but we’ve now passed the shortest day so it’s all got to get better from now on… hasn’t it?

After the first few days we made a spreadsheet… the money we’ve spent, the money we’ve earned and the money we’ve saved by generating our own power.  It was the kind of exercise you have to do to make yourselves laugh in the face of so much debt, or you’d definitely cry.  

Ian's keeping a proper tally of the amount we've generated each day.  Yesterday it was the worst day so far.  Ho hum, it's midwinter... onward and upward.
