Solar panel production figures

We've had many crap days after the 9th of Oct, before that we started strong. Electric smart meter hasn't reported anything to Octopus since Friday either, not ideal being on agile.

If its reception issues they can supply external antenna's, or at least one's that you can mount higher up.
 
Had a good day, got 16.1kWh today.

I've been running a workstation 24/7 since Saturday afternoon, its using around 500 - 600w, and my system just can't cope. I've limited forced exports as the batteries are getting down to 5% SOC, I did have the cut off set at 10%.

I just can't get enough charge into the batteries to get them full, even charging at 8kW for three hours off peak, and then with the very poor solar, I've not had a full SOC since 17 October, well before the extra load came on.

Just goes to show what heavy electric use can do in the winter months. Workstation should be done what its doing by Saturday, so hopefully better service resumes.

8.2kWh today and 204 so far this month. I've no idea if that's any good for my little 3kW system at this time of year but it all adds up :)
 
Looking at 8ish today. I've got a spreadsheet with a trend line for PV generation against profit. At the moment to break even I need 14.5kwh production...
 
1.0kWh

Just crept over 160kWh for the month, an average of just 6.4kWh per day. Target for the month is 272kWh. :mad:

Five of the last 7 days have been 1.0kWh or below!

11.8kWh here, rest of the month is looking like more of the same. Mind you its all down hill for a couple more months.
