Done and done

A momentous day has past - two major milestones.

Firstly, the September total has been met already - a series of good weather days at the start of the month, followed by good mixed weather afterwards has made the daily target of 8kWh per day very doable. Job done and still 12 days to make a profit.

Secondly (and probably the most important) that's also the point at which the total for 2012 has been reached. After double-checking the meter under the stairs, I can confirm I'm comfortably past the 2952 kWh annual target with over 3 months of the year to go. Admittedly these will not be the most productive months of the year, but it's all pure profit now, which is a nice feeling to have. It helps that so far this year I've beaten the target every single month, which given the poor weather is no mean feat, so I wonder what the output would be in an unusually good year. Maybe 2013 will show.

On an aside, I've now had to change my home laptop, which has been an experience in itself. So I've reinstalled the OWL software, but need to transfer over the database at some point. Hopefully no big deal. However, the interactive charts on the blog have been interesting - works in Firefox but not Explorer. So now I've no idea what's going on. I shall have to ask the nice man at work for his thoughts.
