Solar panel production figures

It was a perfect morning up until about 11am, then got quite choppy in the afternoon.

  • 32kWh generated
  • 19kWh grid draw
  • 31kWh exported
  • 13kWh consumed

less than 100 here.....

The darkness was short, have been regularly seeing 7kW, highest peak today is 8697kW. 18.5kWh so far

they put it on my monthly bill....11th of every month for me. So today they have paid me out around £38 for the last 31 days

Do the actually pay you each time, or just credit the account?
 
Still a little trickling in, but 28.74kWh for the day, 21 exported, and 15 imported at the cheap rate, another day of negative costs.

currently on a powercut - apparently, only know because we got a text from a neighbour - battery is at 95%, house is running 100% from that and the 0.6kw of solar were generating - got to love full islanding :)
Does your system not notify you? I was concerned about this, but the I instantly get a nofication on my phone when the power goes off, although so far its been me turning it off. This is one reason I'm not completely emptying the battery on Flux, imagine how annoying it would be to have a power, and a flat battery.
 
Weirdly no, not sure why not but no interruption in supply so not too worried.
You will have an interruption to supply if the inverter/batteries can't handle the load, that was my concern, overload the inverter and it will shut down.

Less of problem for me as I have an 8kW inverter, which will supply more than that, but will at some point shut down if overloaded.

The other consideration is you've no idea how long the power cut will be, so may want to conserve power to a certain extent.
