Good news. The electrical inspector has just been around, tested the new solar system, turned it on and pronounced it safe to use. We are now running off the solar power produced on the roof panels on a bright sunny day.

We still don’t have the import/export meter installed so we don’t know how much power we are giving away, but we can wait for that, I reckon.

But it will be good to get the smartphone app to monitor the smart meter in the switchboard to get a clear idea of what we are producing and using.

Very exciting!
