Tracking solar in Toronto
As promised, here is a link that will allow you to monitor performance — and view Webcam images – of the 100-kilowatt solar system atop the Horse Palace at the Exhibition Place in Toronto. It’s also a good opportunity to tinker with the Web interface provided by Fat Spaniel. Thanks to David Davies at Carmanah Technologies for dropping me the link. For more details about the system check out this recent story of mine in the Toronto Star.

I notice the home page says the system will generate 1.2MWh of electricity per year… if the array is rated at 100kW, shouldn’t that be 125MWh per year, or are my calculations flawed?
