Solar panel production figures

7.8kwh today, 1.65 efficiency

We had quite a heavy mist that didn't burn off until about lunchtime, but even with that we were still getting around 500 watts, peaking at about 2kw around noon.

I'm loving this sunshine! It's been 3 days on the trot now where I've used next to 0 electricity. That's about £10 of savings - as well as decent carbon reduction by not needing to use the grid. Octopus had a saver session recently - waiting to see the results of that - it was 9am-10am for me.

8.16kwh new record and probably pretty much my max at the moment I think, was nigh on a perfect day here, cold and sunny

 

[gpuerrilla]

Back to mostly cloud and lingering front only got 1kWh today.

Warmer spell now in for a few days but the clear skies were missed over here.

 

[The Angry Welshman]

Over the last few days i think i have exported around 23.5kwh to the grid @15p……which will go very nice against grid usage

Roll on the spring/summer

 

[Ron-ski]

8.32kWh today, from 4kw = 2.08 efficiency

Its a cloudy one today, be happy if we get around 3kwh

@Welshman it was heart-breaking watching the forecast yesterday knowing you will be the other side of this band of cloud today, suppose I was getting accustomed to the glorious skies the past few days. Better news (for me) is you get to join in a day later!

 

[The Angry Welshman]

You got a big huge fan in the garden blowing it across lol

 

[gpuerrilla]

If we work together use the fans to blow NE pass it over that direction.

Another new record 8.94kwh today and a new high of 2.65kw peak
Oddly due to the mist my generation was kicking in earlier, light getting reflected about I guess

(old peak seems to have been an error where it was a spike so suspect dodgy timed reporting to servers)

 

[Ron-ski]

Been rather cloudy today, but did better than expected at 2.84kWh.

 

[The Angry Welshman]

Just the 2.5kwh for me….was cloudy all day

 

[Freefaller]

Next week is looking less promising for me unfortunately.

Had a five day streak going of at least over 10kWh until today where I only got 5.9kWh also just noticed another saver session tomorrow so not fully charging the batteries tonight so I can charge in the 4 hours before to get a nice payback

Will see how generation is tomorrow, from what I read though you want to leave hour before the session clear as well.

So finish charge by 16:00 if session is at 17:00.

Have they upped the rates? Over £3 per kWh sure it was £2 odd before.

Is that right? Heavy load from 3-4. Then the saving session from 5 looks at the load between 3-4 to calculate the savings?

 

[john_smith]

I would have thought they would base it on historical 5-6 usage?

 

[HungryHippos]

Looks at a few hour window an hour before the session starts apparently.

It's one factor also historical usage on that time window as well.

I think if it’s 5pm start, use power from 1-4pm and this is taken into account. Last time out I tried this and used £1.20 in elec and got back about £6. Not to shabby
