Solar panel production figures

A better day today than the last few as we actually had some sunshine until around 2ish. 7.9 with a total for the month of 242.20 kWh.
 
We've had our since 2018 and they haven't blown off yet. I did get a bit nervous the first few storms we had.
There's also the worry that a tree or something will be blown into the panels and damage them.
 
Another big fat 0.0kWh again.

We finished on 164.6kWh for the month against a target of 272.2kWh.

Its actually lower than November's target of 166.8kWh, which gives an idea of just how bad this month has been. February even managed 233kWh in its 28 days.
 
Today's figures, 13.17kWh generated and 8.74 kWh exported, even got the batteries to 100% (last time was the 17th), normal service resumed!

For the month, 479 kWh generated, and 429 kWh exported.

Here's what happens when you use too much power (extra constant 600w roughly), and not much solar, even charging the batteries at 8kW for the three off peak hours I could not keep the batteries charged enough to last the day, even stopped force exporting some days.

The top blue line is maximum battery charge for the day, bottom is the minimum, middle line is the average.

Anyone getting a few jitters about Thursday?

I did think about you're panels today when I saw the forecast, it will be a real test of your brackets, although they are a little sheltered by the house IIRC.

We've moved the bins into the garage, the garden furniture is winter ready - the seats have paving slabs in them, and the table is strapped to some paving slabs.

We've definitely had winds as strong as or very close to 70mph more recent than 1987, in fact I'm sure it was just three or four years ago.

Actually, it was last February, storm Eunice with winds of 77 mph recorded at Langdon Bay near Dover, and 122 mph at the Needles - the highest wind speed ever recorded, I guess in England.
 
We get strong winds here regularly and although an exposed garden you have to get sturdy furniture or it wont last the harsh conditions. This storm, if they predict accurately looks like to hit the south coast mainly, but not holding my breath as if it ends up 100 mile north it could be another story.
 
272.6kWh for October. 8.43kWh yesterday. I somehow managed to turn off my PVoutput at 8:20 this morning so today is broken ;)
 
Started November with 9.9. So close to double figures.

Also the smart meter remote dcc reset has not worked so now the wait for an engineer to pull the fuse.. or a lucky power cut tonight.
