7.3 today…. In danger of not reaching the august target now too. Two very poor months in july/august.
but new panels coming this week and i got a week off next week……..more power is coming to the hillside

What target you hoping for this month
Soldato
Target is 373…..average of 12 a day, current average is 10.65
targets will change once i add the new 1.6kw worth of panels.

Agree the past two months have been awful considering they are meant to be the strongest ones of the calendar year for solar gen.
Last year we averaged just over 3kWh per day more compared to this one.

What do you go for monthly? Is this a personal thing or based on panels/month?
Soldato
21.5 today brings me upto 366.8 for the month, so 17.5 average almost
Only need another 81.2 for forecast so pretty much a given now.
Be nice to breach 500 vs forecast of 448.
We are now 2/6 of the way to the shortest daylight day again

Its based in system size and orientation…….im slightly south east, so get better early production.
but the new panels will be perfect south

25.9kWh generated and 8.6kWh exported.
Another decent day taking the monthly average to just under 17kWh per day.

You have battery already or is that being put in too?
Soldato
no battery, only have a string inverter. all excess being sold to the grid. As my average export each day is 75% of what i produce

REALLY wish I could have had some panels in back garden at same time as rest of system, by the time 17:30 hits im breaking even/starting to drain battery and from 6pm onwards im at 3-400w and right now im at sub 200.
Still got 21.7 yield, 20.4 registered on givenergy with Export at 3.9 at 16:00:12 and currently on 8 total export for the day so a nice 4.1 export at peak flux rate
so that 4.1 = free charge up on battery at 2-5am rate rounded up to 19p of 6.9kw.

I'm guessing your array faces SE like mine does as I have the same issue. The other side of the coin though is you end up generating earlier. Around the solstice generation above baseload is pretty much 5am to 5pm for us. I did toy with the idea of getting some panels on the opposite NW facing roof but it didn't make sense and I don't like relying on a tariff like Flux for the payback in the long-term as who knows what the landscape will be like in 5 years time.REALLY wish I could have had some panels in back garden at same time as rest of system, by the time 17:30 hits im breaking even/starting to drain battery and from 6pm onwards im at 3-400w and right now im at sub 200.
