Solar panel production figures

27.1 kWh generated, 9 imported, 20.1 exported (around 7.5 at peak rates).

Should be a decent day for profit on Flux :)

New record as well! previous best was 27 on the nose.

This seems about the limit I can reach this time of year, will see how May does. Had 5 days above 25 this month so far, but none above 27~.

Beautiful and easy to follow chart today as well.

02:00 - 05:00 charging battery from grid.
07:30 solar is generating enough to take the base load of the home.
10:30 battery is full and exporting to grid begins.
17:30 exporting some excess from battery to grid
19:00 end of peak rate back to normal. Battery left at 67% which should be enough to power home until 02:00 again with some spare.

April would have been decent had this murky spell not showed up. I recall the pandemic 2020 year there was enough solid days that I'm sure my system can do better than 450. Alas lets hope May brings us some of the spanish heatwave although I wont hold my breath :o

640 generated this month. Nearly double of March. This is pretty phenomenal considering it's the UK and I've only got a modest system.

Always seemed like you were getting more than me, but think this is the strength of my system and positioning now the sun's come up is that even on bad days I'm now generating for so long and never any shading so it just pumps out the kwh. Think you lose a few later in the day with your dual tiered setup.

Main thing now is I'm grid neutral which considering I'm charging the car 5 days a week (12.5kwh), flux has really helped balance out this cost being able to charge cheaply overnight and export during the day for the same cost more or less.

Yeah I think people with set up like yours and zeeflyboy will benefit later in the day. I lose 1.6kW of generation opportunity in the evenings.

Ultimately we're all benefiting from this and seem to be doing well respectively :)

Considering we're in the UK I think the OCUK posse have proven without doubt that solar is totally viable.

In the last 2 months I've made more money than I've spent. My DD is now set to £10. Over the year despite winter undoubtedly will be expensive the offset over a year will be positive if I forecast over the last 9 months.

Not a perfect day like @HungryHippos which is odd considering we're so close but afternoon and evening was spot on

Yes it is odd, as you say nearby, but then I think you can just get lucky or unlucky with the cloud coverage! variance in weather is definitely a thing even if only 15 miles apart.

Today looks OK, ticking along done 7 kWh so far, but doesn't look sunny, will likely be a 14 kWh or so day in the end.
 
You just reminded me I need to contact my supplier and drop the DD now we have seen the winter through. It was conservatively covering bad days and I will be overpaying monthly - just have to double check figures as they did jack up the unit price since the gov subsidy programme changed.
