As of 11:40 a.m. today, the solar panels have produced 50,000 kilowatt/hours (50 Megawatt/hours). That's a tremendous milestone! May has been very sunny, with 10 days in a row where we produced 60 kilowatt/hours between sunrise and sunset. We have about 17 hours of total daylight this time of year, and we'll gain almost an hour more in the next three weeks before the official start of summer.
The sun does many wonderful things besides offset all of our electricity use. The asparagus crop greatly benefited from May's many sunny days. And evidence abounds in the woods that berry plants are growing well. Raspberry picking should be starting in about 6 weeks.
