Jim: Interesting hobby you have, collecting all that weather info.Your conclusion of: average insolation 165.02 W/m2 (10 min average) has not persuaded your relatives?
I suspect, they have relatives in this town then. The insolation here is 160W/m². Some time ago I published this observation: <West Hartford's solar panels installed on two highschool roofs produced 14,933 kWh of electricity in about three years. This means that the panels generated average power of 570 W, enough to keep almost six 100 W lightbulbs lit.> Amazingly, the flood of disapproving responses ignored, all of them, the basic fact that powering six lighbulbs for 3 yeas is not going to make any difference to anybody, not even the schools, nor the U.S., nor will it impoverish the sellers of "foreign oil." Impossible people to deal with. I guess it is a religion with them. Do not take our faith away with just plain facts. Well, not all of them are idealists. Many entrepreneurs I know are in it because "someone will spend the budget anyway" a budget approved by ignorant politicians. "So why not me." Stan
