Our main solar install has now been active for three years. Although the beginning of this year under performed compared to the same time in 2025, we're currently in the middle of a heatwave and the pounding sun has driven yields up at the last minute. This post is a quick look at our solar performance over the last 12 months.

Although the year started poorly, this spring's yield has been higher than last year: Breaking that down further shows that the increase is the result of the new garage install and that the original is actually delivering about the same as last…
