Solar panel production figures

[Nathan]

13, not bad. Installed some tigo optimisers this morning on the bar panels (4) and they seem to be already working wonders. The pitch was bringing the rest of the system down.

Ordered another 4 panels to squeeze in. A total of 25.

7.2 today which I think was probably 0.1-0.3 off perfect, already starting to see the impact of the due south townhouses diminishing

13.2

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

Looking at what others have generated today with south facing systems its perfectly possible, it's going to be one corker of a system come the summer months.

Some systems count battery discharge as PV yield, and we also have the odd person posting from over sea's, hence I was wondering where you was located.

Thought we might have a good day 5.3

 

[Infidelus]

A decent day today - 10.3.

 

[Ron-ski]

A perfect solar day, and 13.4 kWh, 10.3 of that was from the SE system.

This shows just how bad the low sun and resultant shading affects my garage panels.

Couldn't quite hit double figures, happy with 9.9kWh though

Nice

South facing is king at this time of the year. My South-east facing 4.8kW array could only make 10.4kWh with a perfect day today as the sun is only just rising when its directly opposite. The bottom string also gets a bit of shade so is about 30% down on the top one. The new 4.62kW of panels on the north-west roof don't get any sun yet, but are generating 1-2kWh per day just due to reflected light. Ironically they are best when it's cloudy at the moment.

I'm hoping for over 50kWh by June with the new setup though.

11.3 kWh for me yesterday @ 3.86 efficiency, even managed to export some.

 

[john_smith]

'twas a grat day yesterday. I hit net zero mid evening before charging and exporting again.

My S facing (4kw) did 10.97 yesterday....if that was 10kw it would have done 27.43. As it's 12 years old I'd say a perfect, new, 10kw system could have done 30 yesterday.

 

[The Angry Welshman]

We got a solar forecast of 8 for today….im thinking double figures again tho

 

[Hawk Tuah]

Yesterday was the best I've had for a wihle, 5.7kw. Looks like it might be similar today.

 

[branddaly]

On course for 0kWh today. Seems snow is rather good at blocking sunlight.

 

[Lighters]

Was on motors thread and mentioned how our new home in England will have solar panels.
Its due to be built end of this year.

Told different things from builder and solicitor.
1 days they will go directly into our heating helping reduce bills and nothing else.
The other says will go towards electricity.

Anything to consider the future?
We will be looking to change to an electric car in the future so anything that saves the most will help.

Thanks

Get as much PV on the roof as you can. Get a battery and an ev.

With the right setup you’ll have it paid back very quickly.

Compared to the total build cost of the house batteries and pv will be minimal.

After a good start the sun just dissappeared off a cliff……

 

[Pyr0m@nI@]{]

I'm guessing my panels are covered. The sky doesn't look too dark, but the array hasn't even generated half a killowatt and might be lucky to do so in the whole day.
200w so far, lol.
I doubt my batteries are going to last the whole evening.
