Solar panel production figures

The batteries are currently full, the immersion tank hot, have got 2 electric oil radiators on pre-heating cold rooms for later and the tumble drier is on and am still exporting electric

Really up and down weather today, it's on the whole nice, but had series of clouds as well.

I saw my best ever generation though at just over 5kW, previous highest spike I saw was like 4.6/4.7.

Hoping sun pops out again for 4PM for the flux export season, as those kWh's have greater export value.

I'm easily confused, had seen you posting on here and assumed it was you, hadn't actually noticed the one on PV Output was in New York, had just seen it was in America.

I must admit I had the same idea, so who is Maplewood?

If they're not a regular on the forum, boot em out of the team. Can't find them on the search here.

Seems you're just as confused as me :cry:

If we know who it is and they're a user here it's fine, though for them the comparison on data with UK folk isn't going to be that useful.

Ron-ski · 25 Apr 2023 at 15:48

Looks like it's going to be a new daily record for me..

SoliD · 25 Apr 2023 at 16:19

Suns decided to come out by the looks of things and pumping out 4kw and supplemented by the battery to kick out 4.5kW. Generated 30 so far with export of 14.7, so likely to end on 35/36 I suspect with 26 or so exported.

Going to finish around 19.5kwhs after the clouds rolled in and blocked what could have been a top notch day

scores on the doors for me... 24.3 with 19kwh exported
v happy with that...... Flux is gonna make me a killing this summer I think ... (well ok a few quid but it should mean 6 months of no energy bills)

except .

I just saw a 2015 Tesla model S with 23k miles and looks brand new in and out... with free Tesla charging as well.......... that will really balls my plans up but..... sooo tempted

Anyone know of someone with manure and muck truck……ronski‘s system needs taming lol

I'll take that and double it, on both counts

48.75kWh generated and circa 42kWh exported, new records on both counts.

It's just starting to get legs, only a matter of time before I join the 50's club, today had a lot of intermittent clouds.

Interesting facts, the voltage started increasing on the Victron array at 4:30 this morning, it was 5:30 when it started generating power, 6:30 the SolarEdge system kicked in, by just gone 7am we had 1kW of PV power, 18:30 we dropped under 1kW, and currently we still have 115w of power. Total generation time today was just over 14 hours.

Yeh we started generating at 6.20 and still pullin 100 watts now at just before 8pm…..so not far off 14hrs generation here too on my lowly 3.2kwh system

HungryHippos · 25 Apr 2023 at 20:00

25.7 kWh generated, it was a very good day in the end and I saw my highest spike yet at 5kW generation.

Imported 9.1 kWh, Exported 20.6 kWh, so a nice day for Flux bonus income, though those numbers are just silly @Ron-ski !

Good to see how much this all balances out at over the course of summer.

SoliD · 25 Apr 2023 at 20:03

36 or so when it finally finishes going. Few cloudy patches but generally quite full power most of the day. First generation at 5.15 and will probably go until about 8.30.

@HungryHippos Whats the Flux import / export screen shot from?

HungryHippos · 25 Apr 2023 at 20:07

Some clouds here, if not then maybe would have broken my 27 record, always more chances though

GE Inverter talks to Octopus API and works it out, pretty clever, nice at a glance stats. I combined them into one pic for the forum but typically shows them seperately.

Nice, I'm still waiting for the Octopus Watch App* to update yesterdays export. One day I'll get the Victron system or HA to talk to Octopus via the API, it can then download all my data.

Here's my graph for today, I got the crayon's out and coloured it in.

*Actually it just updated, -£4.79 for yesterday.
