  Real-time data (last 48 hours)
 Solar Radiation is yellow
 Electricity "Generated" by the Solar system is yellow
 Electricity "Used" (consumed) is red.
 Net to the grid (-) or from the grid (+) is orange.
Labels:
  • Solar Radiation is measured in the Plane of the (tilted) Solar Panels, watts/m2 [Technical details]
  • Net = Used minus Generated. If negative, the solar system is generating more than is being used. 
  • Data is stored in Standard time. During summer months, the power data will appear to be one hour off.

Since going into service on May 12th, 2003, the solar system has produced 55% of the electricity used by the store.
