12.5 kW array we generated 997 kWh Dec 2017
We used a lot of power this month.
Dec 2017= 997 kWh
Dec 2016= 924 kWh
Dec 2015= 911 kWh
Dec 2014= 996 kWh
From my calcs we have used up our banked power.
we have 126 Kw banked left

We have used up our banked power for the year. Our solar year resets March 1.
The first time and like 3 years I fired up my NG heat. It is really cold here last night it was 6 degrees F for SC that is cold. We will be switching for NG heat to Mini split heat depending on outside temp until our solar year resets.

Why we ran out of banked solar power this year.
We made 851 Kwh less this year.
We drove our car much more over the summer. My son got his learner permit and drove our car more over the summer to learn to drive.
I had a microinverter making 20% less power I have replaced it.
We just were not a careful with usage. When you surplus each year you don’t watch your usage very closely

Here is a yearly chart.

Other solar producers show us your numbers when you have them.
