Solar panel production figures

[Welshman]

8.5kWh today. Again nowhere close to a cloudless perfect day to measure against but happy to take these reasonable conditions.

Thats so poor lol

just the 9.3kwhs for me today and we are now above February's target, booom

 

[redfist]

only 3.26kwhs today, cloudy and muggy all day

 

[Freefaller]

Cloudy and poor day today. Still used no electricity today as we were at work.

 

[BUDFORCE]

2kwh today miserable day.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Thats so poor lol

You had some perfect days earlier in the month some of us had to slum it with the cloud. Your defintely due taking one for the team!

 

[branddaly]

8.9 kWh for the day. Peaked at 6558 watts, so pretty much full power for a good 5 minutes. Also need to take a look at my pvoutput API calls, as for some reason its recording me as exporting the full amount, when I've only exported around 1kWh. Their documentation doesn't strike me as great, and I've obviously mis-understood something.

We supposed to have 6 days of sun now…….fingers crossed lol

I don't bother reporting the export stuff, just the total generation for the day at that point is fine

I was trying that as a v1 API entry, but that seems to be causing it to report it all as exported on the daily summary.

Your calc must be off somehow, this is what the GE local one does:

GitHub - cdpuk/givenergy-local: Home Assistant integration for local access to GivEnergy inverter and battery systems

Home Assistant integration for local access to GivEnergy inverter and battery systems - cdpuk/givenergy-local

github.com

v1 is accurate for generation it seems.

I think I've recreated that for my Solis Integration;

shell_command:
pvoutputcurl: >
curl -d "d={{now().strftime("%Y%m%d")}}"
-d "t={{now().strftime("%H:%M")}}"
-d "v1={{ states('sensor.powerflakes_energy_today') | float *1000 | int (0) }}"
-d "v2={{ states('sensor.sensor.powerflakes_ac_output_total_power') | int(0) }}}"
-d "v6={{ states('sensor.powerflakes_ac_voltage_r') }}"
-H "X-Pvoutput-SystemId: <system-id>"
-H "X-Pvoutput-Apikey: <api-key>"
https://pvoutput.org/service/r2/addstatus.jsp

Will let that run tommorrow and see if thats sorted the export values.

 

[SoliD]

7kwh for me today. Not sure where that came from as it was kicking out 300w everytime I looked at it today.

Actually I think I found the issue, its the wrong export model setting in the tariffs in pvoutput.

I saw the sun for about 2 mins at 16:00!

Do you set this up from Configuration > Scripts?

 

[HungryHippos]

In Home Assistant you add it to to configuration.yaml like it describes in the github a bit further up, then it lets you choose it as something to run.

Now that our Victron system is running, I can see our overnight baseline usage fluctuates between 350 - 650w

 

[katie279]

Interesting - we use around 600-800w baseline overnight, I've been keen to narrow this down a bit more - lots of phantom draw I'm sure from devices.

Looks like a good day today though - 2.6kw by 9:30am....! Get those new panels warming up Ron-ski! (assume you're able to see their production vs your old array also?)
I'm keen to see how they work throughout the day in terms of generation vs your original set (given different direction etc)

 

[Freefaller]

That seems high. We hover around 300

There is a link in my signature to the VRM (click again if it complains about a password), if you look on the advance tab in the VRM there are two graph's, one shows each individual string, the other the total generation. It's better viewed on a monitor as there are loads of graphs.

I expected ours to be higher, I have a server with circa 320 TB of drives, all sorts of network equipment, two fridge freezers etc.
