Solar panel production figures

[Freefaller]

Hmm my panels are visibly filthy. I think I'm going to have to clean them. With no rain forecast for weeks I think it'll be worthwhile.

There's a strange yellow thing in the sky!

Already up to 12.0kWh just before 11am.

A good start to the day….but now the clouds a rolling in and its getting really humid. Thunder and lightning forecast from around 4pm……panel cleaning time lol

Welsh valleys weather predicted here up until next sat, not a cloud or drop of rain predicted!

Sunday looks not so great but I wont be taking what they say beyond that due to the last weeks form where they got quite a lot of it wrong.

Just a few watts over 15 today……the rain came or should i say, drizzle

I wonder why I'm getting less performance than in April, early May despite more sun. Is it just a combination of heat and dirt?

Heat is certainly cutting my production, im not getting anywhere near the 3.2kwh the system size states. Best hours production i have had is 2.95kwhs

Similar here, we maxed out at 3.95kW from our 4.8kW system today. I think it's a combination of panel temps, inverter temps and dust/pollen etc on the panels from 3 weeks of no rain.

On the plus side it was a perfect day (finally). We generated 31.1kWh and exported 16.2kWh.

Like everyone else it seems my peak is also being limited by temps. I think I peaked at around 5.2 KW (79%), and there were some clouds around midday. Production for the day was at 39.6 kWh. I've been away from home for a couple of days, and for some reason my export was showing as import. Seems my clamp had been reversed. No idea wth is going on there. Now also 22 days without rain, which is bloody strange, hoping for a storm overnight/tomorrow to wash the panels, and water the strawberries.

26.5 today, rather humid, shall see if any overnight rain hits.

As the saying goes. “You pays your money, you takes your chance”…….

Really humid and muggy here, with light cloud cover…….cant see getting much over 10 today

 

[gpuerrilla]

Looks like no overnight rain here. As @Welshman update above its cloudy right now but hoping we get some spells of good generation.

Huge black clouds overhead. Rumble of thunder. Will it rain????

Production has dropped to under 800W

Sun showed just before 1pm to bake me while I was strimming outside. Had to take a break before finishing and mowing another section. Pretty intense heat.
