+draft: true
+---
+A couple weeks ago I released [census-geocoder][git], a [Go][] wrapper
+for the [Census Geocoding Services API][census-api].
+
+### Example
+
+Here's an example application which geocodes the command-line argument
+and then prints the normalized address from the geocoding result of each
+address to standard output:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+ "fmt"
+ "log"
+ "os"
+ "pablotron.org/census-geocoder/geocoder"
+)
+
+func main() {
+ for _, arg := range(os.Args[1:]) {
+ // get address matches
+ matches, err := geocoder.Locations(arg)
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Fatal(err)
+ }
+
+ // print matches
+ for _, match := range(matches) {
+ fmt.Println(match)
+ }
+ }
+}
+```

+[Enphase][] dashboard for our first month of solar:
+
+{{< pe-figure "dashboard-year" >}}
+
+The blue bars represent energy produced by the solar panels. The orange
+bars represent energy consumed by us. The Y axis is
+[kilowatt-hours][kwh] (pay attention to the Y axis, because the
+dashboard rescales it).
+
+According to the numbers above, the solar panels generated 78% (1 -
+117.4/538.6 = ~0.78) of our consumed energy for the month. Virginia has
+[net metering][], so our power bill should be 21% of what it would be
+otherwise.
+
+On clear, sunny days the panels generate more energy than we consume:
+
+{{< pe-figure "dashboard-sunny" >}}
+
+And in a shocking twist that will surprise no one, on cloudy days the
+solar panels don't do very well:
+
+{{< pe-figure "dashboard-cloudy" >}}
