Solar Panel Output for October to December
Due to the building work on our house we lost the connection to the solar panels for a few weeks, with the result that the figures for October and November are lower than they would have been.
It's difficult to know how much electricity generation we missed out on, particularly as it was relatively sunny for some of this period. At a rough guess we lost between 100 and 150 kwh. Hence, our yearly total is our lowest so far, but would have been about average otherwise.

House Extension
Our house extension is now finished, apart from some decorating that I need to do. You can have a look at some pictures of the work by visiting the Photos page.

Solar Panel Output for May to September
Summer started well, but gradually got less sunny, only to be saved by some late September sun.

Solar Panel Output for February to April 2011
After a poor February, when we generated only 89.5 kwh, we've had a very good March (233.8 kwh) and April (313.1 kwh). This was largely due to the very dry March and April that most of the country experienced.

Solar Panel Output for November 2010
In November we generated 90.6 kwh, which was slightly lower than the monthly average.

Solar Panel Output for October 2010
October this year was the best ever for electricity generation in the month of October, with 199.6 kwh produced by our solar panels. The average for the month is 178.2 kwh.
It looks like this year will be a good one for total electricity generation, although it may be difficult to beat our best year ever (2007).

New Pictures of the Kids
I've added some pictures of Harrison and Anton taken earlier this year. Have a look at them in the photo gallery

Local Election Result
I stood in the city election in Worcester on Thursday 6th May for the Green Party. This was the first time I've stood for election to anything.
I had no real chance of winning, but I hoped to make an impact and certainly get more votes than the BNP candidate (last year the Green Party got 3 more votes than the BNP at the County Council election in the same ward).
The results for my ward (Nunnery) were:
- Labour: 1761 votes (44.26%)
- Conservative: 1394 votes (35.03%)
- Green: 456 votes (11.46%)
- BNP: 368 votes (9.25%)
Election results for the smaller parties are never so good when there is a general election at the same time, but the Green Party still managed to increase its share of the vote. Hopefully, this bodes well for the future. Although, until people in Worcester truly understand the seriousness of some of the environmental issues facing us, such as peak oil and climate change, the Green Party will always struggle to make an impact here.

Matt's new blog site
I've set up a new blog website for myself where I can put my thoughts about issues relating to politics and the environment. You can find it at www.matthewjenkins.me.uk
