Solar panel production figures

The sun came out just in the nick of time. Battery was down to 22% when the gods of sunlight decided East Kent was due it's share of photons.

Long evening sun then…with no shade

Indeed but its 11am before it basically starts to go up significantly. A good day it will creep up to 1.1kw or so by then and then whoosh it takes off

Its why with TOU tariffs (which I only think will increase over time) that I say West is better than East (but South still rules) since the profile will be the same but at opposite ends of the day and I would much rather have that late afternoon surge than an early morning one
Especially when my batteries can be full at 4:30am on cheap rate

Yeh i get that…..my man cave roof is pure south, which will be good when i add the new panels. But it does get shade early morning and after 6pm. But it will increase my export production for sure
 
For the 8th day in 10 the cloud did not clear. Ended the day with 14.5kWh generated and 7.2kWh exported.

I contacted Octopus today asking about getting onto Flux export as our import has been active about a week. I was told there's quite a backlog so it's taking a few weeks to move people over. This is the case despite having our export MPAN already. We're at least on EDFs SEG still so getting something, but it's quite frustrating.
