Latest writing
- Arbitrage Maths: When Charging From the Grid Beats Storing Your Own Solar 1,491 words Derives the break-even condition where cheap import plus round-trip losses undercuts the opportunity cost of stored solar, and shows the counter-intuitive result that on some tariffs you should export in summer and import at night.
- Clear-Sky Ceilings: Using Theoretical Maxima to Spot Underperformance 1,591 words Shows how to compute a clear-sky upper bound for any given day and use the gap between it and your actual output as a fault signal that works even without irradiance sensors on site.
- Sanity-Checking an Installer's Yield Claim in Ten Minutes 1,764 words Provides a fast triage that catches inflated yield figures — specific yield per kWp, implied performance ratio, MCS versus marketing estimate — and shows what an optimistic-but-defensible number looks like versus an indefensible one.
- Roof Space Constraints: From Panel Dimensions to a Real Layout 2,039 words Converts your measured roof into an actual panel count using real module dimensions, edge setbacks, obstructions and portrait/landscape trade-offs — the step that turns a theoretical kWp target into a buildable array.
