This is the preliminary Load Analysis from Generation Solar. It shows all electrical draws within the house, approximate time that they will run in a given week, and how much power they will draw in that time. All amounts, times, etc are calculated for the winter, when the solar panels will be generating the least amount of power. In the summer we will be generating more power than we can use. Many people live on systems that are much smaller than ours but we did not wish to sacrifice too many of the comforts that we have come to expect from a modern home. In our opinion, 'green living' should not involve a de-evolution back to the days of the settlers. To that end we have tried to make intelligent choices about our lifestyle and the resources required to live as responsibly as possible.
