I think today will be a good day! 20+ again. :cool:

37.7kWh yesterday and exported 36kWh. Not quite 40+ but today is looking good for that, which should take me to just over 500+kWh for the month, so very happy with that as its not felt that bright at times.

That's beautiful! Did you post a photo of your system? That's some lovely generation! Enjoy it! Summer will be epic!

It should be a good day here although typically there is a good bit of cloud in the sky covering peak generation despite it being clear earlier this morning.

30 yesterday, lovely stuff for February.

Don't know if I have of it all. Anyway, here it is. 2 inverters (Fronius 3.6k, Sunsynk 5k) in the garage, plus 2x15kWh Seplos batteries put together and connected last week, fresh with some 150mm PIR insulation jackets I added yesterday!

This is the first 4kWp array I had fitted 8/9years ago, that's connected to the Fronius inverter:-

Then I built the carport in front of the garage and added about 3.5kWp of panels there coming up to 3 years ago, connected to 1 MPPT on the Sunsynk inverter:-

Then last year, added another 3.2kWp of panels on a timber frame in the field next to our house and connected to the spare second Sunsynk MPPT:-

All arrays in one shot:-

I just put our GSHP on to load the hot water tank and without the export clipping we're now banging out 8.5kW :cool:

I’ve just cleared Feb 2024 although I lost 2 days generation due to an electrical fault on my inverter circuit so I’m not calling it better than last year.

Probably brake even will be a fair assessment.

today is freezing fog at 1 degree C, mad diff to yesterday

I'd noticed the fog on the cloud satellite, but most of it seems to have cleared.

I'm matching yesterday so far...

Nice, we've still got lots of cloud, but doing better than yesterday.

Freefaller · 2025-02-28T13:32:44+0000

thanks for sharing @1pudding1 - really cool! :cool:

Freefaller · 2025-02-28T13:35:57+0000

Just broke 22kW - will I hit 30 I wonder?! :eek:

I may not be able to compete on energy, but I'm happy with how I use my smaller size more efficiently

I see my system is not updating on PV output.

That will require some investigation later

It can't handle your power.

I jinxed it, been choopy since.

This morning was mega but this afternoon has been all over the place. Just 6.5kWh to go to top 400kWh for the month, c'mon sunshine!

Freefaller · 2025-02-28T16:15:20+0000

Didn't quite make it to 30. Just over 27 though which will more than do for Feb (well March basically)!
