Today's going to be bad. Barely managed 50w so far.

Same here, although we've managed a little more, sitting at 0.5Kwh but only around 125w coming in

Its not a good day here…….

Jokester · 27 Dec 2023 at 13:00

Panels are getting washed today.

Ron-ski · 27 Dec 2023 at 13:18

I don't think it's a good day anywhere, I'm top of the charts with 1.4 kWh and that's more than the forecasted 1.1.

john_smith · 27 Dec 2023 at 13:30

Yep, it’s grim here. .6.

Well I did spot some bird poop on one of the panels the other day so the weather will hopefully solve that. 0.3 so far, though I don't imagine that number's going to move anymore today.

0.37 here. I think that is the worst day since install.

thewanted · 27 Dec 2023 at 16:45

0.29kWh, lolz.

fullspizz · 27 Dec 2023 at 16:51

0.8 here and it's been dreary all day.

reef · 27 Dec 2023 at 16:57

0.08kWh

My worst ever.

Servo · 27 Dec 2023 at 16:59

2.5 yesterday...0.7 today

What a miserable day.
1.2

Mercenary Keyboard Warrior · 27 Dec 2023 at 17:34

0.4 , my second worst ever day

Ron-ski · 27 Dec 2023 at 19:13

2.07 kWh, better than expected.

I would not bother to do this.

You'll get losses on importing, and same again on export. The difference of 7.5p/kWh is probably not enough to make it worth doing, as it will also eat your battery charge cycle life a bit as well, so a hidden cost.

It's absolutely worth doing to import cheap energy to store at 7.5p/kWh instead of using peak grid price of 30p/kWh, but importing to export, I would not recommend.

Over the last 10 days since I’ve started doing this I’m averaging just under 9 units exported a day. At 7.5p that’s going to be over £200/year. That’s a decent % of my entire electric bill!

Once the sun comes out I’ll be exporting loads!

You'll be losing some percentage each way though. That said if you have an unlimited cycle long warranty I'd crack on.

10 year on a pw2 I think. I’m confident she’s good.

JackRegan · 28 Dec 2023 at 18:31

2.3kWh of which the majority was generated between 11:00 and 13:00.

Nathan · 28 Dec 2023 at 18:37

2kw dead on
