Solar panel production figures

[Ron-ski]

Not a great day after 3:30pm, generation dropped off considerably due to some large dark clouds but......still 71.7kWh generated & 60.2kWh exported.
Would have broken 80kWh easily.

What's your currently installed panel capacity?

 

[Ron-ski]

13.8kWh with 3 spare panels where I was deciding where to place. Now found an ideal spot for April to October inclusive so just ordered some more Van Der Valk ballast system for 5 panels (plus an additional two panels- this should take me to 15.75kWh).

What I have in mind will take us to 15kW.

 

[Ron-ski]

Wall, floor or roof mount?

12 on NW 30 degree roof, 3 on SE wall - these should be a good boost in the winter.

 

[Ron-ski]

Good start to the month, and better than expected.

42.48 kWh generated and 42.168 exported.

Trolling…..you mention the welsh weather more than your solar production. Its just general ribbing, the english blame the welsh and the welsh blame the irish and the scottish blame everyone. Its not trolling

You sure its not the French????

 

[Ron-ski]

24.82 and 24.7 exported, a rather grey day.

 

[Ron-ski]

Blame the Irish or the Welsh or something like that

Nah, it's definitely French weather.

Managed 5.2 so far

 

[Ron-ski]

It's just a bit of banter.

 

[Ron-ski]

18.5 generated and 18.39 exported.

I'm getting forecasts for 45 tomorrow, and 49 Sunday, we'll see.

 

[Ron-ski]

Looking good down south, but may have some French clouds heading our way. Currently generating 5.6 kW

It hasn't uploaded for an hour, what's going on there?

 

[Ron-ski]

45.96 generated and 41.46 exported, 46.8 forecast for tomorrow.

 

[Ron-ski]

Currently at 51 kWh and still generating at 5.3 kW

You sure about that, it's dark outside?

 

[Ron-ski]

We'll get past 40, but the clouds rolled in around 2pm

 

[Ron-ski]

42.9 generated and 39.7 exported.

Tomorrows forecast is 27.3, sounds about right for a bank holiday.

 

[Ron-ski]

Basically down to loads of panels, most I generated in a day is 57, but my panels are not at optimal angle/direction.

Panels have got better, but have also got physically bigger, not sure that actual output per square meter has increased much, it would be interesting to know.

 

[Ron-ski]

What a pants day, beaten by @gpuerrilla, and well and truly beaten be @Welshman as well.

Just a measly 14.19 kWh and 13 exported.

On a brighter note, tomorrows forecast is for 43.

 

[Ron-ski]

Thanks, have added a few more days manually. Applied to join the team

Nice, showing in sixth place on the live charts.

 

[Ron-ski]

Without searching back through this rather lengthy thread, is there a quick guide/add on to automatically upload to Pv output at the end of the day?

It can be done automatically depending on the inverter you're using, other automated option is home assistant, other options exist but I'm not aware of those.

 

[Ron-ski]

Never mind ron, look at your weather for the next 6 days…….

I know, including today we have 301 kWh forecast for the next seven days including today
