Daily Electric Energy Used (61.9 kWh) from Sense. Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (53.9 kWh) from Sense and SolSystems. A mixture of clouds and sun. A deficit of 8.0 kWh. With the elevated temperatures outside, the Geothermal HVAC system is working nearly full time to keep the house cool.
I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
