Solar panel production figures

[Ron-ski]

I've been working around the house today doing a few odd jobs, I thought it had been a fairly bright day, although overcast, but looking at my generation of 6.75 kWh its really grim. Even though I've had solar for years, it still seems to surprise me just how quickly it drops off this time of year.

My batteries didn't even get to 100%, they were at 96% at 5am after their 3 hour off peak charge, then they dropped and managed to charge back to just over 90%, but by 4pm peak time they were down to 90%.

SolarEdge: 1.9 kWh
Garage: 2.25 kWh
North west roof: 2.18 kWh
House rear wall: 0.42 kWh
Peak power was 4.65 kW at 9:25

Total generated today: 6.75 kWh
Total exported today: 8.454 kWh
Total imported today: 24.736kWh

Another terrible day, batteries were at 80% at 4pm, so after only 2 hours force export they were at 45% which is when I stop exporting.

Total for the months so far, 21.1 kWh, average of 7 kWh a day.


SolarEdge: 1.5 kWh
Garage: 1.96 kWh
North west roof: 1.95 kWh
House rear wall: 0.32 kWh
Peak power was 1.91 kW at 10:33

Total generated today: 5.73 kWh
Total exported today: 7.125 kWh
Total imported today: 24.733kWh

Double digits today (just), a fully charged battery, that I managed to do my usual 3 hour peak discharge on - it hit 45% dead on 19:00.

Still not great generation though.

SolarEdge: 3.1 kWh
Garage: 3.46 kWh
North west roof: 3.38 kWh
House rear wall: 0.89 kWh
Peak power was 6.59 kW at 12:32

Total generated today: 10.83 kWh
Total exported today: 13.282 kWh
Total imported today: 24.614kWh

 

[Ron-ski]

I'm currently at 32 kWh for the month, that's an average 8 kWh a day and that's December's predicted daily averages, the rest of the week looks just a bad.

Going to need some good weather to catch up!

 

[Ron-ski]

I'm on 10kWh total so far, so you can pipe down

Did that today

That's probably me jinxed it for the rest of the month year.

 

[Ron-ski]

@shroomz you've got quite a while to go until you see significantly better numbers, with winter on it's way.

Import, export and actual generation are the most likely reported numbers

PS Probably on for my worst day this side of summer, 4.3 kWh generated.

 

[Ron-ski]

Looking at the weather forecast for the next two weeks, it seems to be rinse and repeat.

I've generated 4.3 kWh, which is my worse day since 11 March, but if I look at just what the garage and SE system have done which is all I had back in March, then I have to go back to the 20 February.

I'll update the full stats later, as currently exporting.

 

[Ron-ski]

Certainly is here.

SolarEdge: 1.1 kWh
Garage: 1.49 kWh
North west roof: 1.48 kWh
House rear wall: 0.23 kWh
Peak power was 1.44 kW at 11:21

Total generated today: 4.3 kWh
Total exported today: 8.097 kWh
Total imported today: 24.606kWh

 

[Ron-ski]

It's so bad here my 4kWp SolarEdge system hasn't even started generating yet, rest is generating around 250w

 

[Ron-ski]

Not even going to make 2 kWh today..........

 

[Ron-ski]

1.94 kWh, absolutely dire, that's it.

Peak power was 520 Watts at 11:28 from a 15.5 kWp system

 

[Ron-ski]

@DRZ if you think yours was bad, mine was a quarter of that!

Worst day since 8 January (when I had a smaller system), look at what the SolarEdge system of 4 kWp generated, we'll not mention the rear wall system, which is 1.5 kWp

Battery just hit 45% so not much exported either, winter is well and truly here.

SolarEdge: 0.3 kWh
Garage: 0.78 kWh
North west roof: 0.76 kWh
House rear wall: 0.11 kWh
Peak power was 0.52 kW at 11:28

Total generated today: 1.95 kWh
Total exported today: 6.086 kWh
Total imported today: 24.765kWh

 

[Ron-ski]

This is really more like December and January production, probably worse as it's being so constant

Only good thing is my average electric unit price works out at 5.2p so far.

 

[Ron-ski]

Another bad day here, looks set to continue for a while yet.

SolarEdge: 0.8 kWh
Garage: 1.27 kWh
North west roof: 1.22 kWh
House rear wall: 0.2 kWh
Peak power was 0.81 kW at 10:41

Total generated today: 3.49 kWh
Total exported today: 7.45 kWh
Total imported today: 24.472kWh

 

[Ron-ski]

45.2 kWh for the month so far, on 3rd October I generated 44.72 kWh, 5th October was 44.51kWh, and 27th September was pretty much 46 kWh all in one day each, not 8 days albeit just a month later.

Todays rather pitiful results:

SolarEdge: 0.7 kWh
Garage: 1.05 kWh
North west roof: 1 kWh
House rear wall: 0.15 kWh
Peak power was 0.70 kW at 10:16

Total generated today: 2.9 kWh
Total exported today: 4.682 kWh
Total imported today: 24.343kWh

 

[Ron-ski]

I'm not even sure we're going to get much, if any sun next week, sunny intervals tomorrow and Monday morning, rain Tuesday onwards.

SolarEdge: 1.2 kWh
Garage: 1.64 kWh
North west roof: 1.59 kWh
House rear wall: 0.25 kWh
Peak power was 1.18 kW at 10:50

Total generated today: 4.68 kWh
Total exported today: 5.151 kWh
Total imported today: 24.117kWh

 

[Ron-ski]

Occasionally today I've seen blue bits in the sky, and just now this very bright thing, any idea what they are????

 

[Ron-ski]

Double figures today!!!!! Now there's a novelty!

Could have exported more, but as the battery hasn't been getting fully charged I'd turned export power down, so only down to 62% instead of 45% today.

SolarEdge: 3.9 kWh
Garage: 3.8 kWh
North west roof: 3.3 kWh
House rear wall: 1.1 kWh
Peak power was 5.32 kW at 11:15

Total generated today: 12.1 kWh
Total exported today: 8.741 kWh
Total imported today: 23.625kWh

 

[Ron-ski]

Finally an above predicted average November day.

SolarEdge: 7.6 kWh
Garage: 4.68 kWh
North west roof: 3.05 kWh
House rear wall: 3.54 kWh
Peak power was 5.69 kW at 12:32

Total generated today: 18.87 kWh
Total exported today: 22.184 kWh
Total imported today: 19.981kWh

Where did the Sun go...4.1

Well, it was in Kent of course or at least it was this morning, not so much this afternoon.
