It surprised me, we've had pretty bad weather also, but we did have a good start to May.
47.74 kWh generated and 39.761 exported.
So much easier now I have this data easily displayed in Home Assistant.
Tomorrow's supposed to be a very grey day, Saturday and Sunday are forecast as sunny though.

I had a spare Intel Nuc, so using that, but probably could have just installed it in a Virtual machine on my server, but not sure what complications that would have caused, so kept it simple.
There is a home assistance thread on here which I think @katie279 started, probably get better information in there. But a cheap laptop does on the face of it sound a good option, it even has its own UPS presuming the battery is any good.
What a really grim winters day, haven't even managed to charge the battery yet and it was on 96% at 5am, and dropped to 87% by 7am, currently crept up to 93%
We've got it tomorrow and Sunday if the weather forecast is to be believed.Ive already got it booked in for tmrw, you can have sunday
Currently on 6.8kWh for the day
Solar Forecast actually predicted 7kWh, so for one it may be correct. Definitely not going to be a negative day.
I thought to myself earlier that you'd be very pleased, I didn't even make it to double digits today, barely got past 9 kWh, and only 4.7kWh exported. Battery finally got to 100% at 15:56, just in time to dump some a peak rate.
Same here, worst since April fools day, it was like a winters day, but we still have two days on sun forecast for tomorrow and Sunday.

I went from 48kWh on Thursday to just 9.2 yesterday, incredible difference.Terrible day here, so pleased with 17.20 - but after getting 40+ earlier this week, I'm now used to more!
Cloudy grey skies here, but surprisingly generating 3 to 4kW currently
Forecast was and still is for sunshine all day, although look at the cloud radar it doesn't look good.

Not us down in Kent today, was supposed to be sunny but been rather overcast but still producing nicely, although fourth in the live charts at the moment.
It is, be careful or you'll be posting how much you generated each day
Don't forget to join the PV Output team (link below), its very easy with SolarEdge, you just need to get your API key from the SolarEdge web dashboard (admin section - if you haven't got that section get your installer to enable it - I had to), and set it up in PV Output.
Somehow yesterday we managed to have our highest peak ever at 9201.4w, we only have 8740w of panels.

@Bug One I'm not sure of the exact time, I don't log that but perhaps I should*. I capture the maximum PV directly within Node Red, which has readings about every 5 seconds, the graphs don't have that resolution so often miss the very top peaks. Maximum peaks shown in the graphs are 8.5kW at 12:49, 14:05 and 14:28
*Now done.

It does (but no time), interestingly the max on the east garage array yesterday was 2439w (2370w of panels), and an amperage of 44.3A. MPPT's are 150-45, so very close to the maximum current.
I have three arrays, so it easier to monitor for the maximum peak by combining all three in Node Red.
41.92kWh generated, 33.875 exported and 14.073 imported.
Don't anybody get excited, I'm not really in eighth place, I just seem to have broken my script this morning trying to fix something for HA, so it's not uploading the garage generation .
Edit: That's better, fixed my code.

50.66kWh generated, and 43.616 exported.
I thought it was going to be a perfect solar day, until the clouds came along around 16:15 and ruined play.

It certainly is a good month, just broke some records.
Generation: 54.79 kWh
Export: 47.89 kWh

Now averaging 40 a day for May.
I looked at PV Output earlier, and thought you may have a new record, not sure if I will - its going to be close though, apart from half an hour this morning its been a perfect day here as well.
