To an extent I know how they feel.
After we had Solar panels fitted, we were
warned by the suppliers we would become
obsessed with the figures, this lasted for the
first 15 months. I made an excel spreadsheet that
by entering the solar meter reading at the end of
each day, worked out power generated, money earned
from generation, feed back tariff earned and total earned.
Power used that day money saved from using power generated
instead of from the grid. This required me to read the 2 meters
just before midnight. I had to go outside for the leccy meter.

At the end of the day a Satisfied Customer is all that counts, They'll come back and so will their friends!!!
