Home Solar Monitoring System: Main Roof

by |Published

I finally got around to adapting the existing scripts to crunch the data from the house. Charting solar performance data is a great way to keep track of the output from your home’s solar array. By plotting relevant metrics such as total energy output, peak hour production, and more, you’ll be able to gain an accurate picture of your system’s performance over time. If you are having trouble seeing the graphs on a mobile device switch to the full version of the site below:

Gardening and Creating Pollinator Friendly Spaces

Anyone can create a welcoming garden for pollinators. Turning your own yard or other property such as a schoolyard, work landscape, or roadside green space into a pollinator habitat is fun, easy and can make a difference for birds also. Planting a few flowers for your honey bees is like adding a few gallons of water to the ocean. Honeybees need on average about a square mile of good cover to forage on. However, adding a diverse mix of flowering plants to your garden will also attract butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, along with native bee species and the occasional wasps. These insects are essential to our survival and need to be welcomed into at the least a corner of our backyards.  Besides providing a food source for pollinators flowers provide cover for other wildlife such as birds and also reduce neighborhood mowing area.

Beekeeping and a Disrupted Plant-Pollinator Relationship

Plants and insects have been evolving in unison for millions of years and have benefited from an elegant symbiotic relationship. This relationship has provided plants a willing host to convey pollen in trade for valuable high energy cocktail called nectar. Residual pollen is an added bonus protein source. A new dynamic is disrupting the alignment of this interaction. Climate change is affecting this coordinated inter species relationship by disrupting the flower blooming cycle. Plants have evolved a response to the spring warming cycle that starts the flowering process in most of the northern hemisphere.
