Solar panel production figures

10.2

First double figure day since 7th November. Now up to 49.5kWh for the month.

Previous forecasts have not been reliable but I am really hoping this one is, got plenty of washing to do so some sunshine would be great.

Met office cloud cover site is predicting no clouds in the sky during daylight hours Monday and little clips on Tuesday so I am hoping nothing changes.

A good day would be nice.. most recent bill cost me £50 net, which was a shock!!

Any suggestions on best way to track historical daily PV generation with a Solax inverter avoiding complivations of battery supply etc? I find the Solax amp to be unclear at best for me

Easiest way, dump the statistics for the day to excel, add up the two PV columns then divide by 12 (you need to divide by 12 as they are wh numbers)

Looks like we should hit double figures today……currently at 9.3

currently at 9.85kWh, could be our first day in double figures this year

Found out that I exported 18kWh back to Octopus from December that was a surprise!

32Kwh today on a 10Kw system today and still a little time left

Whereabouts in the country are you? Seems a bit high for the UK.

Not far from Leamington Spa... The solcast API predicted 40Kwh for the location so seems accurate, roof is pretty much spot on due south and no trees or neighbouring properties casting shadows on the panels. 25 panels with a 8.8kw inverter.

Happy to be proven wrong if there is a problem with the software this end but seems to stack up with the graphs.

6.70 Kwh today. Pleased with that for January.

25.06kWh. Wish I had been out riding my bike rather than staring at the lovely blue sky through the window.

I am in Evesham still producing at 9.95kWh SE & SW with 7.3kWh system with SolarEdge monitoring. but I do have trees shading from the road only.

I would be very happy with 32KW, I need to cut down a few trees.

I was pleased and surprised, it was a new system installed the last week of October so had an okay-ish November then I guess like everyone December struggled to clear just over 100Kwh for the month. January is looking much better!

We are doing 10~ on our 5kw south west facing system, so I can well believe a 10kw system sited perfect south could do 32.

23 kWh on my 6.5kWh system. Looks to be a few more sunny days in the forecast this week. I really need to put some consideration into batteries once the new VAT rules come into place.

The Angry Welshman · 15 Jan 2024 at 16:38

We got 10.2 in the end…..thats just on the 3.2 roof system

reef · 15 Jan 2024 at 16:43

11.4

Actually the best day since 22nd October, though we have more panels now than back then.

Simon D · 15 Jan 2024 at 17:04

Only reached 9.96kWh in the end.

b0rn2sk8 · 15 Jan 2024 at 17:07

7.6 today. The sun is still a bit low in the shy for my east west setup to stretch its legs. The east array gets a bit of shading from my own roof as the sun peaks at this time of year.
