I think it'll be a good night.

The sun came out this afternoon and our solar pannals were able to produce a lot. The battery back ups didn't get a full charge, but oh well. It's almost ten o'clock, and by this time last night, I was outside in the rain trying to override the system.
I'm thankful that we have power, but I did turn off the kitchen light to save a little power. Having to run the internet to watch t.v. can eat up some power, but the heater doesn't need to run. George asked for ham and chease, which is good. He doesn't always ask for food. I'll take it.

@kaylachan Do you think he may enjoy a different kind of bread, like a soft tortilla that he can roll the ham and cheese into?

We still have days where his shakes are all he eats, and then we have days like yesterday where he gets hungry and wants more.

Good to know that the sun came out and the solar panels were able to generate some power, even if the battery backups was not up to mark. It sounds like you’ve had quite a stressful time with the system, especially last night in the rain. So, it must have been a great relief to have power now. I think it’s smart to be mindful of energy use by turning off the kitchen light and keeping the heater off. Not many would do that. Watching TV and running the internet can definitely eat up some electricity, but it’s good that you’re staying conscious of it. Nice to hear that George asked for ham and cheese—that’s always a good sign when someone is asking for food, especially when they don’t often do so. Hopefully you would be able to relax a bit after the busy day. Hopefully, things stay sunny for a while so you can get a full charge on those backups! Enjoy the day!

Our system is working better than ever. But, I also have an app that I can see in real-time when something is or isn't working. The system is also smart, too. It prioritized the heater/air. But, the thing is, we're kind in a lull where we sometimes need it and sometimes, don't. I have to be, because our lives depend on the eletricity.
