Solar panel production figures

Yeah, needs a full year if you're "racing" against others who have 365+ days.

Even that won't work, needs a full Last X days option where everyone compares the same time frame.

In my example, even if you had 3 years of data, if one person joined later in the year vs others they'd be skewed still.

It wont be quite fair either if you have other hemispheres for example right now is summer in Australia so they will be smashing it.

Yeah, just playing around with it now. Over time the average should stabilise but will still go up and down over summer / winter.

I said earlier, we should have our own table based on months total production, not on average production.

With mine being 32.77 kwh/kw so far in january

It will never stabilise fully if User A has a full summer of data and User B began after summer.

Maybe pvoutput can be set to limit the number of days it looks at, then we're cooking with gas

Edit - we should also boot people out of the team who don't upload data manually or automatically. Automatic would be encouraged of course.

Welshman · 27 Jan 2023 at 16:28

Since my system was fitted i have an

overall efficiency of 109kwh/kw
2022 efficency is 247/3.24 = 76.23
2023 efficiency is 108/3.24 = 33.33

6.28kwh today
100 for month blown past, now 104.09
to meet target 13.41 over 4 days = average 3.35, going to be close
forecast looks "reasonable"

Similar today as well here, on and off a nice day

117 kWh for Jan which is ahead of where I thought I'd be when we were half-way in and generation was poor.

4 days to go I think 1 or 2 of those look OK on the horizon, though annoyingly doesn't seem like next 2 days are great (I use more elec on a weekend!).

BUDFORCE · 27 Jan 2023 at 17:37

5kwh here today.

95 for the month so far.

I'm just looking at this page. https://pvoutput.org/ladder.jsp?o=gss&d=desc&tid=1661 Ordered by efficiency. Obviously your one above looks much better for me. Like I said, I've emailed PVOutput to let them know they are doing it wrong.

Thanks.

When I click that link all I see is Give me sunshine, and Give me sunshine 2, PV Output is most user unfriendly.

@Welshman try this link https://pvoutput.org/map.jsp?tid=1661

Ron-ski · 27 Jan 2023 at 17:58

3.76kWh today from 4kw system, 102.37 for the month

gpuerrilla · 27 Jan 2023 at 18:02

3kWh again today, mostly cloudy too.

It must be something your side with a filter like Welshman had?

Go there in a vanilla browser session, logged out. It’s good as gold.

Ron-ski · 27 Jan 2023 at 19:01

@john_smith different browser, so not logged in and it works as it should.

If I go to settings, there are no filters set, so what could it be?

Ron-ski · 27 Jan 2023 at 19:04

@Welshman @john_smith

Found it, click the filter button, stupid thing is remembering a filter entered at some point!

john_smith · 27 Jan 2023 at 19:33

Hahahahah. System functions as intended sir.

Can some one post the chart, for some reason i can only see my own data in pvout and cant filter either

I had the same issue, click filter then delete the text and click done. Should now show everyone

EDIT - Beaten by @Ron-ski should lean to read all posts before replying

It may function as intended, but two people have been caught out here, wouldn't it be sensible to have something to show there is an active filter? Just because it functions as intended doesn't mean its sensible, wouldn't it be sensible to simply place some text at the bottom of the list to say that there is an active filter?

I wonder how many others have been caught out.

Oh yeah. It's been designed by a programmer. I have 3 or 4 tabs open for different things as I can't seem to get to pages half the time.
