awful day here however a torrential shower cleaned my panels at least!. 6.5kwh so far..... its running the house and i have exported 4kwh, tho i doubt i will cover my 7kwh import for the day. i need to get onto intelligent octopus now, i think Flux is no longer profitable, certainly not when taking into account i am paying 14p to charge my car at work when i could be paying 7.5p on IO.

Sunny Scotland for a change, its been alright, 26kwh so far

Im enjoying it while I can before it goes back to normal weather

Only got up to 9.1 today

Wow that dropped a lot today. 15.4 from the normal 20+. Very cloudy and has rained a bit though so it's to be expected.
I've also now joined the OcUK group as that's now 5 readings I've uploaded.

Lucky you haven't setup them new panels, you would have beaten me!

11.6 kWh, with 10.4 exported, just upped my 2am to 5am charging to 120 amps to the batteries, they only got to 82% by 4pm.

Bugger…….i will have my time again lol.

I noticed today there may be some shading on the lower left panel at around 4:30, so im trying to come up with options to mitigate this.

Simple, remove the object causing the shade

that would be next doors fence……so my option is to raise the mount around 600mm so its sits level with the top of the fence. Prob take me around half an hour of removing bolts, unscrewing, measuring and then rescrewing the structural screws back into place

My system actually went right up for a little bit today

reef · 12 Sep 2023 at 22:01

A whole 1.5kWh today.

That's the worst day since we got the panels in late January.

gpuerrilla · 12 Sep 2023 at 23:36

19.1kWh today, you had what we experienced yesterday.

What size system? Sorry I'm not up to date with everyone's system size and a lot of these numbers mean nothing to me without knowing that.

cool days will spike hard when the sun comes out due to the panel efficiency depending on the panel temp.

Oldman2 · 13 Sep 2023 at 09:15

Just 7.4kWh yesterday, I had to do an overnight charge to be sure of having enough battery for today.
I had a look though the last few years for a daily average to expect and below for my little array is the result. December is horrid!

Ron-ski · 13 Sep 2023 at 10:07

December is always the worse.

Mercenary Keyboard Warrior · 13 Sep 2023 at 10:23

Seeing as December contains the winter solstice its literally the lowest amount of daylight hours which also means its the lowest height of the sun as well

Welshman · 13 Sep 2023 at 10:58

Cold but sunny today, so we are hitting the 3kw+ mark for the first time in a while
