Aye good start to the day so far, hopefully keeps going!

Do we get solar through the snow
Not when its falling but snow reflects a lot of solar radiation so chances are if you get some clear skies after the snow and it stays nice and cold you could get some very tasty numbers.
You may need to get a long broom to push the snow off your panels however

it didnt last long and the sun is sort of trying to come out.....we getting around 400watts through the panelsNot when its falling but snow reflects a lot of solar radiation so chances are if you get some clear skies after the snow and it stays nice and cold you could get some very tasty numbers.

Poor start to the day, wont be beating yesterdays figure so hoping for progress later.

Looks like today could be a reasonable day as we're getting sunny spells. Yesterday was pretty good with 13.5kW, sending us over 200kW for the month.
It just hit an output of 5.09kW which in theory shouldn't be possible as we only have a 4.8kW array. I guess that's as good as it'll get.
Now we've got an extra battery bank (12.25kW total now) it can charge them quicker too. It was filling up at a rate of 4.1kWh just now. We've gone from 27% to 74% in quite a short period of time.
The energy savings are surpassing my expectations so far. We average about 13kWh a day usage and that has dropped to just 3.3kWh from the grid this month. We have air con so I'm expecting even better in the summer as we average about 17kWh per day then.

New grid consumption low of 2.6kwhs yesterday ( zero battery use, as i dont have one ).....should get even lower as we go forward to spring summer as days will get longer

Wow just hit a new peak 6278w output… amazing that just one month ago the peaks were more like 4800w.
It’s one of those afternoons now where the clouds are moving through so I’m probably getting the cooling panels, burst of sunshine high peak thing going on, but given the inverter is 6kw I can’t complain about seeing 6.3kw!

My lowest month was 11kwh last August running AC 24/7 too. Shame I can't get that in the winter to do the heating.

Battery full, 17kWh so far and a peak of 7.43kW, this afternoon looking more cloudy, although hasn't been a great morning either.
Be interesting what it does on a perfect solar day

Only 13kWh for me here so far - seems that your new system is on fire (not literally, at least I hope!).
I hope not as well, 22kWh so far, still generating 714w.

When are you going to add it to pvout? We need your scores to boost the OcUK team!
Seriously though you must be so chuffed that your hard work has paid off so well.

11.9kwh today and 225 just passed for the month

5kwh today, looking seems I got the duff weather today, was pretty overcast again.

Damn weather gods, and it started out so promisingly.
