Anish's Diary

  Readings taken between Nov 20th and Dec 1st = 11 days Solar readings as on Dec 1st: EP - 84 kwh T1 - 83 kwh IP - 109 kwh T1 - 19 kwh T2 - 44 kwh T3 - 42 kwh Net - 24 units Inverter Energy reading - 108 kWh Net Meter export reading - 84 kWh Where did the remaining 24 units go? A Net Meter is a bi-directional energy meter that records both Import from the Grid and Export of Energy to the Grid. The inverter energy meter records the energy generated by the Solar Power Plant. A solar power plants generates energy during the day. It follows that any export of energy to the grid can happen only during the day. Consumption during the day is also therefore met partially or totally by the generation. Export during the day = Generation - consumption during the day From the above equation it is clear that Export will always be less than or equal to generation. In our case, we can assume 24 units was c onsumed during the day for the 11 days  i.e = 108 (Generation) - 84 (Export during the...

  Historical Average consumption (based on last 5 bill readings) = 725 units Average Consumption after installing Off grid (Hybrid) = 698 units Last KSEB meter reading  (Had my old Luminous inverter running for incubator) 22.09.21 - 7535 kwh 19.11.21 - 8249 kwh Consumption = 8249 - 7535 = 714 units Average consumption per day: 700 units / 60 days = 12 units

Had my booking for an early morning Air India Operated Air Canada flight to Montreal. The layover was at Heathrow. My cab booking from Pune to Mumbai International Airport was done for 11pm considering the traffic that I may encounter on the Pune Mumbai Express highway. However reached the airport in less than three hours, much before the boarding started. Tipped off the driver and walked into the airport looking for Air Canada counter. But then quickly realized that the check-in is managed by Air India , they being the Operator though the flight number on the ticket was of Air Canada (AC). The baggage allowance was 30kg along with one hand bag, I also had an additional laptop bag. There were no issues with checking the baggage as my baggage was weighing much below the allowance threshold. After the immigration and security clearance, spend some time at the duty free and then waited at the gate. With the call for boarding , walked my way through the Airbridge to enter the flig...

Decision and the travel to Montreal happened over two days, getting hold of the tickets and hotel reservation few hours before the flight. There wasn't much time for thoughts on selecting the airline nor for planning travel accessories.Apparently, I was headed for lot of surprises especially when travelling in the month of December. With just two days in hand, my last minute shopping were for: 1. Shoes 2. Jacket 3. Sweater 4. Thermal inners 5. Gloves Finding Snow Contact shoes in Pune suburbs was challenging. The salesman at one of the shops mentioned that I would need gum boots and suggested I check out Woodlands. Thus purchased a high heal leather shoe and a Jacket from Woodlands outlet in Aundh.                  But later realised that both the Shoe and Jacket (in-fact was a hoodie) were biker's gears,  and also was told that leather hardens when in contact with snow and the rubber soles don't work. Fortunately they...
