Solar panel production figures

Its not bad here actually. quite bright.

A few hours more of reasonable weather and I may be able to charge the batteries a decent bit. (10:30am or so is when my generation starts to ramp up with the current sun positioning)

Had my BMS changed yesterday, force discharged the batteries around 11pm last night, set batteries to force charge in go window for testing of what they drew and...
The bloody Solax cloud ignored the instruction despite getting a success message back.

So the batteries started at zero (well 10% minimum) this morning with the house on grid usage. Grrrrr.
Switched back to Self usage now, which is the setting I run so solar is meeting house needs and added 10% to the batteries.
 
really dull day here today... no rain yet but i would not be surprised if it comes.

but that said, Solar continues to show its worth even now. Glass half full , yes i wont be supplying half my street with energy like i do on a sunny day, but even today, its 12pm and my export already matches me import for the day (3kwh), my battery is full and i am exporting at 0.5kw right now.
 
Hi all, long time listener, first time poster (in a few years). I'm still active and friends with many on the forum.

I've recently taken the plunge with a PV install and am recording my stats to pvoutput. I've joined the OcUK team as "EricaGaff".

Thanks! x
 
utterly dismal weather weather here today (I think i am close to MKW) . its wetting it down. good clean for the panels at least and despite that still pulling in 250w which is covering the house usage for now. will just keep an eye on it to make double sure there is charge in the battery for 4pm to 7pm expensive slot.

Can I have the sun back please? Battery didn't even fully charge yesterday, I can see for winter I'm going to have to up the charge rate

You are very close to Rodders_Power.
 
I'm currently producing 350Watts with an average for today of 168Watts. Wife informs she has to bake this afternoon so its lucky I took advantage of 2-5am to charge the batteries some having seen the forecast for today is just 3hrs of sun this evening. Now my Octopus Export is live the suns gone on holiday!
 
and with todays generation so far i've now surpassed my best month and the 1mWh.
