Solar panel production figures

[Ron-ski]

total for May 1526.2 kWh

Very nice, was curious as to what yours would be.

My predicted generation for May with the new panels would be 2091, but that was using last years May figure (I've yet to do PVGIS calculations for my current panels), even if we use this Mays figure it puts me in the region of 1750 kWh. Also the new panels would give about 60% more, so 1047 x 1.6 = 1675 kWh

Not doing quite so well here, currently at 17 kWh, clouds are supposed to clear soon.

Typical, the clouds have just been covering us!

 

[Ron-ski]

Covered us since about 8am but it is peaking through a little in short bursts, just one of them days - main chunk of UK seem cloudless from them images.

We've had much the same with cloudy skies all morning, but they seem to have cleared now, currently generating 6.75kW

 

[Ron-ski]

Had a pretty good day, 47.79 generated and 40.37 exported.

 

[Ron-ski]

Had two emails arrive over tyhe weekend. This is the best place to willy wave I suppose

How come you've got export payment and FIT export?

I still get the generation FIT payment but no longer the deemed FIT export, when I started getting paid for export I had to give up the FIT deemed export, you shouldn't have both, and in most cases your better off getting the full export rate.

. I'll keep my head down YOLO

Ah, keep quiet.

@94JDH Will you be going live on PV Output?

.

 

[Ron-ski]

As @katie279 says, size matters over efficiency.

PS. Katie I've noticed your system always lags well behind LottaWatts, considering you're not to far apart and similar system size, any idea why?

 

[Ron-ski]

On PV Output Katie's is 7.38kWp at 30 degree pitch, south facing with no shading.

LotaWatts is 8.3kWp 37 pitch south east facing with some shading.

Look at today's generation, @katie279 is at 33.7 kWh and LottaWats is at 47 kWh.

Given how close together they appear to be and not a lot of difference in systems, certainly not enough to account for the big difference i notice most days, it just seems a bit odd.

 

[Ron-ski]

32.4 and 28.8 exported, no great days, just about the same, forecast over the next week.

 

[Ron-ski]

Not too bad today, we faired much better than most country, with 37.11 kWh generated and 32.95 exported.

 

[Ron-ski]

40.8 generated and 36.126 exported.

 

[Ron-ski]

43.08 generated and 39 exported, next 6 days is looking about the same.

 

[Ron-ski]

45.97 generated and 42 exported.

 

[Ron-ski]

32 generated and 34.2 exported.

PS -£48.75 for gas and electric for May.

 

[Ron-ski]

Not a bad day, 45.9 generated and 29.26 exported.

 

[Ron-ski]

35 generated and 35.72 exported.

 

[Ron-ski]

I didn't have much coming in, and now it's 83w

 

[Ron-ski]

2 kW coming in and at 38.9 kWh, should break 40 again.

 

[Ron-ski]

Spoke too soon earlier, clouds came over, 39.9 generated and 23.9 exported.

 

[Ron-ski]

30.5 generated and 32.2 exported, should be generating lots more this time of year.
