The month of November we produced over 1.56 MWh (Megawatt hours) of power on the farm.

Many cloudy days last month reduced the amount of solar coming into the array, so I think we will keep seeing a drop in the amount produced. I was expecting a bigger drop honestly. But good to see we are still producing a lot of power deep into autumn.

Took my electric dirtbike out to the array and got a picture with it along side it.

Soon we will see the consumption of array B raise as I start to charge my electric vehicles more.

With an electric UTV on the way it should start to consume much more than this little electric bike. I will be using it more often as well so it will put a load on array B for sure, which is great as it was oversized when we built it. With the workshop attached to that array it should be quite useful. So now putting some good 240v load on it should be good for fast charging.
