OCTOBER 2013
Good morning Glenn,

Please find attached a copy of this month’s power generated to the grid, FYI. This is despite being without power to the house for four days due to the wind storm experienced in Canterbury a few weeks ago and some very dull days. If my system keeps producing so much power, I am concerned that the Government may partially privatise me! Seriously, putting in PV panels and/or solar panels on all new builds should be made mandatory under the Building Act.
