The Summary

We still produced over 1 megawatt of power in October, though the sunlight hours are lessening with the onset of fall. But, along with that, we stopped using A/C, so only used 549 kilowatts total. We banked 477 kilowatts, nearly the same as last month.

The Data

We used the LEAF more in October, as we were home the whole month. We put on over 300 miles more than in September! Our efficiency in miles/kWh was better due to using less A/C, just like in the house. We went from 3.84 to 4.26. It will be interesting to see what happens when we start to use heat as the temperatures drop in the winter.
