Solar panel production figures

For the day 40.85 kWh generated, 32 exported with 5.3 kWh at peak, weather forecast was for sun all day, but afternoon was quite cloudy. 25 generated prior to 1pm, 15.85 afterwards.

For the month as reported by the VRM, but there seems to be 130 kWh unaccounted for. Possibly what's consumed on the DC side, I don't think that's taken in to account in the consumption figures.

  • Generated: 966 kWh
  • Exported: 650 kWh
  • Imported: 335 kWh
  • Consumption: 521 kWh

Wasn't far off that 1000 kWh, average of 32.2 per day.

So close to 50 kWh generated!

My owns stats say 49.65 kWh
PV Output says 49.94 kWh
Victron VRM shows 50 kWh (but it does round to the nearest kWh)

VRM states 44 kWh exported (rounded up again), but HA via electricity meter states 41.806 kWh exported, import was 13.538 kWh

Either way a cracking day and another record, but not quite in that 50 kWh club, yet.

@HungryHippos Which is why I've always stated my figure for generation, and now I have a Glow CAD and HA up and running I can see exactly what has been exported as well - that was always a bit vague as the VRM rounds it one way or the other.

As for more panels?
  • Solar Car port - space for 15 panels.
  • Solar veranda - 5 panels.
  • North roof and north east roofs - lots of space
  • Replace original array
But alas the above isn't going to happen (not even to keep up with @katie279 ), and besides tomorrow and Thursday's weather is looking good, 50 kWh is just a day or so away :D
 
@Welshman Apart from not showing live export power its working well, I raised this with Glow and they think its something to do with the actual meter firmware. Their apps also at present are not setup to show export, although they are working on this.

It's nice having all the meter readings in HA, with the exception of the generation meter.

I'm also on the list for the Octopus Mini
 
I finally joined the 50's club, generated 52.3 kWh, exported 43.745, expecting today to be about -£8

It may be possible to get to 60, more likely around 55 is the max, today the SolarEdge system generated 26.2, and the most its ever generated in a day is 28.27 kWh, and that was 20 June 2022.

This was just before 1pm (the map is a random location near by), just an hour later it was generating 638w, turns out we had a hail shower at home, I'm thinking it was a Welsh one, or perhaps it came over from Ireland, or even down from Scotland.
