Summary
Wow I’m late posting this month! Got caught up in the Christmas season and never got to it… I am happy to say I did keep my Retreat Days and that helped sustain me. Retreat Days are kind of like storing our solar electricity in the grid. When you need to draw on reserves, they are there for you. As of mid-November we started heading down in our kWh produced, but we still produced nearly 1 megawatt and accumulated 128 kilowatts from mid-October to mid-November. Now we will begin tapping into our reserves as we head towards the darkest days of the year.
The Data
We used the LEAF less in November than October and our efficiency in miles/kWh was lower. We did use the heater more and the temperatures dropped, so it will be interesting to watch what happens as the winter comes on. This month we went from 4.26 to 3.48 miles/kWh.
Amazing! True that we may have some colder days ahead. I well remember the winter of 1972…….repeatedly having temps below zero and our pipes freezing, so having reserves is a GOOD THING! Keep up the good work!!
