Peak Energy

Today my PV solar panels must have been working extra hard. They

produced 14.7kWhrs that is the absolute maximum they are supposed to

be able to produce in my region based on the average latitude angle.

When I scoped out the system I had been thinking about a 5 hour peak

sunlight day. We are really much more like 7.2 peak hours of sunlight

a day (this time of year). This chart might help. You can see what a

total waste it is to buy and install PV solar panels anywhere

outside of the southwest.
