Power!

We're live!  Cheers to Pepco for checking out the system and replacing the meter in just a week after talking to me. 

Turned the system on last night and it was perfectly sunny for most of the day -- we generated 9.53kwh in total.  

The panels were generating as much as 1.5kw at around noon, and more than 1.4kwh average between 11 and 12, which is close to the built-in capacity of 1.61kw.  Sunpower provides a website with a cool chart showing hourly production and I'll try to figure out a way to get that up on this site.  It looks like we were producing power all the way from 7:00 am to after 6:00 pm.
