Prior to this date the battery charger was not temperature compensated,
leading to a significant decrease in recorded production levels. Therefore, the values for Feb 05 and
earlier should not be included in predictions of potential system output. |

· The "AC In" meter records energy to the core loads (battery
backup, refrigerator, furnace fan, and a few lights and outlets).
· The "AC Out" meter records energy to all other loads (very
small amount) plus the amount sent to the grid.
· AEP meter values are my readings of the meter at the end of the month
(*new digital meter installed,
**digital meter reset to
· ^ : gas furnace failed and
heat pump was used during a very cold week, leading to greatly increased use of
electricity. The heat pump apparently is
not routed through the AC out meter, so it is only reflected in the AEP meter
readings.
· hp=heat pump. It is sometimes used for cooling when I have
visitors. I try to indicate months that
it is used since I do not believe the electricity it uses is directly metered
by my system (it is included in the AEP meter).
