Solar panel production figures

branddaly · 18 Apr 2023 at 20:17

Surpassed March's total today, ticked over the 400 kWh mark. Need another 220 to hit the estimate for April. Weather forecasts only have one more fully sunny day predicted for this month, so exactly how thick the clouds are is going to be important.

I'm at 552kWh for the month, was hoping to hit 1000, but that is not going to happen, the weather forecast for the rest of the month looks mostly wet.

I need 165kwh in the next 12 days to hit target. Its taken 18 days to get the 200kwh i currently have. Its touch and go based on the weather forecasts. At least 13.75kwh a day is needed

20.8kWh today. Generation kicked in after 2pm when sun came out to play and ended at sunset just now:

32.7 here today which I think is my second best!

did my 1st mow of the lawn this year. 1st one is always the worst. With the weather breaking I could not risk it getting wet againt. My point however is I was surprised how much electricity the mower used. stuff like that I never thought about before getting solar.

my final score on the door was 15.1kwh generated
8kwh exported. should end up net electrocity neutral for the day, everything else is gravy so I am happy.

Abother very good day. 25.3kWh generated and 15.2kWh exported.

Still no export MPAN from EDF. 136kWh sent out this month already for free. Going to switch our Import to Octopus tomorrow and switch export to them as soon as its done.

Tuesday 36.43kWh after a poor start to the day ( 7.02kW East West flat roof system at 10 degrees inclination)

Just go straight to Octopus for Export, what I did in the end when I was with Sainsburys.

as @SoliD said, switch the lot over to octopus now and forget EDF

Agree, the weather forecast gave bright sunny start here and all it has been was cloud.

New best day yesterday: 68.4 kwh!

The curve on the graph looks like it was a cloudless day, all day.

Thanks for rubbing it in Twinz!

SoliD · 19 Apr 2023 at 12:37

Foreigners don't count!

SoliD · 19 Apr 2023 at 15:33

23.5kWh today so far, with 7.5 exported and batteries full ready for 4pm.

quickshot89 · 19 Apr 2023 at 16:24

Currently just got past 24KWh generated, batteries recharged by 11:30, exported around 10.6KWh so far, not bad for the North East with East/West panels

FWIW, i think we are using more electricity (air conditioning) as we get more sun. We are staying ahead of usage, but the marging seems to be smaller this month than last.

gpuerrilla · 19 Apr 2023 at 18:40

Yeah the air con will suck up some juice too.

16.3kWh so far today, they gave sun early am but it never showed till midday and when it did it was patchy.
