Solar panel production figures

Well, we actually beat the forecast but only just, and tomorrows forecast has dropped to 42.2 kWh.

SolarEdge: 4.1 kWh
Garage: 4.75 kWh
North west roof: 4.99 kWh
House rear wall: 0.91 kWh
Peak power was 5.04 kW at 15:45

Total generated today: 14.75 kWh
Total exported today: 13.033 kWh

The north west panels produced 34% of today's generation.

A spectacular day, if only there had been some more September days like to day.

SolarEdge: 17.2 kWh
Garage: 14.31 kWh
North west roof: 10.13 kWh
House rear wall: 4.27 kWh
Peak power was 8.03 kW at 13:24

Total generated today: 45.91 kWh
Total exported today: 42.294 kWh

We only really had a couple of clouds, and I was fitting bird mesh, hence the erratic green line.

it still beat last Septembers generation but that was not hard considering

I'm at 754 for the month, last September I made 793 kWh, tomorrows forecast is for just 14, so I'm not going to beat last years.

When you consider I've been running a lot more panels for the last week, that shows just how bad this September has been.
 
Did better than expected, but not by much, 12 was the forecast.

SolarEdge: 4.8 kWh
Garage: 5.5 kWh
North west roof: 5.47 kWh
House rear wall: 1.13 kWh
Peak power was 11.75 kW at 13:30

Total generated today: 16.9 kWh
Total exported today: 15.521 kWh

September total: 771 kWh, which is down on last years 792 and the last week had a boost from the additional panels this year.
 
I think 27 was forecast this morning, not sure why as the weather forecast was bleak.

SolarEdge: 5.1 kWh
Garage: 5.71 kWh
North west roof: 5.69 kWh
House rear wall: 1.46 kWh
Peak power was 9.16 kW at 15:33

Total generated today: 17.96 kWh
Total exported today: 16.661 kWh

Winters certainly arrived, who's going to be the first to generate zero???

I know - shocking isn't it. System definitely isn't best positioned for Winter and I do loose a good deal of panels to shading and sun position.
Thank god for high credit and sizing of batteries!

It's the additional money from exports in the summer where it will really pay off, money in the bank for the winter. Obviously the additional panels will help through the winter.

I do wonder if panels in a single string are really shaded in these darker months drag the others down even with tigos, presumably you can see individual panel data?
 
Been a reasonable day, quite a lot of intermittent cloud, which resulted in a very spiky graph though.

Now the scaffolds down the rear wall panels are generating better, even saw 1.467kW from them earlier, and its only a 1.575kWp array.

SolarEdge: 14 kWh
Garage: 11.58 kWh
North west roof: 9.73 kWh
House rear wall: 5.81 kWh
Peak power was 9.94 kW at 13:48

Total generated today: 41.12 kWh
Total exported today: 40.802 kWh

PVO question...

Live Outputs

PVOutput.org - share, compare and monitor live solar photovoltaic output data
pvoutput.org

I use this link to view our daily generations, f5 it and it shows that day. Can it / we show a leaderboard with total, annual, monthly, weekly etc?

TY

Well there's this one, but only shows total generation. I also see there's quite a lot of systems not updating.

Quick question.
Posters keep mentioning "It has been forecasted to be x amount of Kw in my area", where are they getting this information from please?

My Victron system has it built in to the VRM (Victron Remote Monitoring) dashboard.

The beauty of this is I don't need to enter system size, orientation, pitch, it just works it out, all it knows is my location, and past performance.

Consumption is also forecasted.
