[RE-wrenches] Wiley Asset

[William Miller]

Benn:

A colleague has used the Wiley took and calls it 'marginal.'

I use the Pathfinder and I like the features Ray described.  I wrote a very 
simple spreadsheet using the teeny numbers on the month lines to create 
100% of any month.  I highlight and delete any of the numbers that are 
shaded and the remainder is the percent of exposure for a given month.  You 
can multiply the output of PV watts or any other production result for a 
complete production prediction.  Easy and free.
