Can't say I've heard that one, if not in use longterm they should be kept about 30% SOC, otherwise just use them. Mine should still have 80% capacity if cycled once day after about 16 years.

Not a particularly good day, but it least it stayed dry for my daughters graduation. 20.96 generated and 21.97 exported
You're right, whilst your stuck at 3.68kW I've been peaking at 6 and nicely past you now, there was a while you would keep nipping in front, but the clouds have cleared and the powers coming inyou cant have the welsh beating you 2 days in a row @Ron-ski lol
26.32 generated and 25.49 exported.
Generation 32.42 and 31.06 exported.
Rear wall array came online at 15:30.

Yes it was, but another 5.22kWp of panels should be online tomorrow morningA good battle at the top today @Ron-ski oh and i've moved into 9th on the average table
34.56 generated and 33 exported. 4.38 from the three wall panels, should improve a bit when the scaffold is down.
I think they make a nice compact powerful system.
Sun shining at the moment and 15.353kWp of panels generating.
Thunderstorms and rain from tomorrow

Lovely day down here, 39.64 kWh generated and 34.4 exported.
We had the power off for an hour whilst the induction hob was wired in, that meant we lost roughly 2kWh from the solaredge system, the Victron system stayed on charging the batteries.
Rear wall array added 3.95kWh
WNW Roof array added 9.95 kWh
So an additional 13.9kWh generated from the new panels.
PS. Weather turns bad tomorrow, rain and thunderstorms forecast.

Weather was a lot better than expected today, cloudy but only early morning and late afternoon rain.
SolarEdge: 6.9 kWh
Garage: 7.49 kWh
North west roof: 7.16 kWh
House rear wall: 1.5 kWh
Total generated today: 23.05 kWh
Total exported today: 20.78 kWh
The north west roof was more than SolarEdge and almost as much as the garage.

The Solaredge panels are 4kWp, the North West roof is 5.22kWp
In the afternoon the NW panels were generating more, and that's when they're more in the sun, not that we had much.

I'm sure it won't be long before the weather turns, and we have a bad day, pretty much all this week and yesterday was forecast with rain, so I'm surprised it's been as good as it has.
I think you're all going to hate me today, somehow we escaped all the rain and gloom, although we did have clouds.
We also surpassed 45,000 kWh generated.
I also came top of the United Kingdom team on PV Output, and there are a couple of 40kWp systems in there!
@Welshman that's depends entirely on the voltage
- SolarEdge: 13.2 kWh
- Garage: 12.26 kWh
- North west roof: 10.92 kWh
- House rear wall: 3.7 kWh
- Peak power was 10.11 kW at 12:50
- Total generated today: 40.08 kWh
- Total exported today: 39.4 kWh

@john_smith I've replied in the other thread.
It's been pretty grim down here so far, although a little brighter now.

You're top of the live charts
But we don't count the gaffI think the gaff's started discharging his battery so you're second now.
We did better than expected given how the day started.
Breaking new records with peak power, although not surprising, be interesting to see just how high that can peak, and of course what I can generate on a nice day in May/June. I wrote some code in NodeRed, so now I just copy and paste the text below.
SolarEdge: 5.2 kWh
Garage: 6.17 kWh
North west roof: 6.21 kWh
House rear wall: 1.15 kWh
Peak power was 11.32 kW at 11:57
Total generated today: 18.73 kWh
Total exported today: 18.6 kWh

Panels are getting a good wash today.
If you look on the 24 hour UK cloud cover satellite (link in my sig) you'll see Scotland had clear skies most the day, hence they did so well, top three are all in Scotland, I was fourth.I made a whopping 13.5kWh today - how some made 30+ I don't know, perhaps they shipped their system down to the southern hemisphere!
Exported 3.3kWh
