Solar panel production figures

[BUDFORCE]

I forgot it was the end of the month, 244 kWh for march. Been a **** month weather wise here though.

 

[Oldman2]

You have 91.24 kW of panels?

Yes divided by the amount of days in the month

 

[SoliD]

Givenergy appears to be down so can't pull my stats.

March was horrific compared to previous years. 280 units. I've done 440, 400, 420 in previous years.

 

[Dunk05]

For me March looked like

407.7kWh generated

330.3 self consumed ( 146.3 directly, 184 via battery )

77.4 exported to grid

104.2 imported.

5.3kWh panels, 9.9 battery ( 9 usable )

My system was out of action for the 2nd week of March. Stats being:

470 generated
140 directly consumed
170 via battery
36 imported
160 exported (for free right now!)

90% self sufficient. See I can beat that in April before the EV arrives late May…

408 generated for March against an estimate of 508. Not a clue on export figures, modbus meters don't work very well when they are full of water. Missed a day and a half whilst all the external electrics were redone, but that only missed out on another few kWh.

Next 10 days + are looking good here in the mountains, fingers crossed it comes to fruition

 

[Ron-ski]

Weather looking much better here as well from tomorrow onwards.

Been working on my Node Red solar prediction, now have a bar graph with all systems combined.

yesterday 10.6 and month 293 so basically 50 below forecast.
Over 60 up on Feb though and considering the weather not too unhappy with that.

I guess its having a west facing array now the sun is higher and actually practically going due west before it goes down that the comparative loss of west facing compared to south is reduced.

 

[SoliD]

360 for March which isn't bad considering I had shading on my bottom string for the first week or so. If last September is anything to go by I should be getting 550 to 600 kwh with battery filling pretty much every day with some luck.

 

[The Angry Welshman]

Whats pleasing me today, is its past 4pm and we are still pulling over 2.5kws from the panels…on a 3.2 system

 

[The Angry Welshman]

So it looks like we will finish at around 9.5kwhs for today, not a bad start to april

 

[Ron-ski]

7.68kWh for me, prediction was 5.4kWh

Charged the battery to 75% last night, currently at 30%

21.4 predicted for tomorrow, so not going to charge the battery.

 

[gpuerrilla]

No sun to shout about today, generation to about 7pm. Total 7.3kWh in the end, roll on some April decent weather!

 

[SoliD]

10 today with 30,40 and 40 predicted for the next 3 days...

 

[HungryHippos]

Solcast thought that today was going to be really good as of last night, but revised down massively this morning.

Glad I ignored it and charged to 100% because today hasn't even been as good as yesterday was, forecast thinks may get a little sun, hopefully do so I can at least extend the battery further.

Shame as I like to get a bit more freedom to use more power on a weekend day, and this weekend hasn't been that good.

Same here.

Finally a good day. Four of the last five have been under 5kWh.

The combination of cool temperatures and sunshine seem to be allowing output far higher than rated. We have 12x 400w Sharp panels (4.8kW) but consistently seem to be getting above 5kW today with a peak of 5.33kW. Is this common as the "rated" spec is at a warmer temperature?
