Solar panel production figures

[HungryHippos]

Thats with a 6.56kW array. No battery, the plan is to use the grid as my battery for now. Excess gets pumped into the hot water. My boss has offered me a bunch of batteries that we are replacing network that I can use to make my own. Considering that, but they are not particularly large (12v-31ah), but generally have never really been discharged (battery backup in telephone exchanges).

With that much export going on hope you're planning to move onto the Octopus Flux tariff?

Octopus Flux

The UK's most awarded energy supplier. We're doing energy better - for you and the environment.

Yes, thats mine. Bran(Flakes) if you hadn't spotted the link.

Even when you say it I still don't get it!

I know of BranFlakes the cereal I assume, but I don't know what relation Power has to it, nor how it relates to your name here

5.38kwh today which leaves me 0.1kwh short of Febs target. I guess I can count those chickens as hatched

So Jan beat target and Feb will, hopefully thats an indication that the target is conservative, other than Dec which I suspect will be low due to heavy shading

8kWh today

5.8 kWh yesterday and not looking to good this morning either

The weekend and next week is looking good

After today it looks like we could get a good run of sunshine - we have already smashed through Februarys target, so all this extra production is a bonus

Similar forecast to me, think most of the uk is the same
Kind of patchy cloud so will be a lottery on if you get a lot of virtually none.

Today looks ropey and I forgot to put the dishwasher on last night, oops.
I may try to hold out and put it on tonight, but I have already been told its full and there are some mugs etc to get put in.
I can usually rejig it to make space, maybe I can hide the items that wont fit

Don't hide them under your duvet.

I failed

She turned the dishwasher on, so no idea what its actually packed like (most of the time I repack it so it works properly )

It's too far gone, better start getting those divorce papers written up!

Today is poor. Solcast had predicted around 9kWh, I'll be lucky to hit 6, tracked under the estimates all day so far.

 

[HungryHippos]

Thinking lucky if I get 3 at this rate

Thinking lucky if I get 3 at this rate

Suns just come out here, so you may get it come through later!

In and outey here today
Battery 64% and slightly gaining now dishwasher is done and eaten so it might get to 80% or so if i get lucky
I need about 80% to get through the night so its possible

Days like this the battery really shows its worth over pure solar.
Lots of spikes upto around 3kw but very short with down to 400w at times in between.
Battery is sending receiving like the hokey cokey

Not bad here, makes a change

13.7kwh so far today, had 24.1 yesterday

I need Katie to pay a surprise trip and bring the sun with her.

Scotland and the welsh valleys seem to be way better than is made out from this data we are seeing!

Not the welsh valleys as such…..as below me in the valley is quite misty, foggy and wet today, luckily im above that fog, misty, wet line. So im getting solar, thats whats so great about living so high up sometimes.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Welsh mountains or hillside then?
