We didnt get any rain….was just cloudy

Last time I got that amount was 23rd September, I should be hitting 20 now with a clear day which is encouraging.

12kwh on the nose yesterday, 300 for the month as a stretch target still, against a forecast of 343, so hopefully its an indication of how bad March was as opposed to a dodgy model

The forecast still remains basically wet for the next couple of weeks!

 

[Oldman2]

Just 11.6kWh for me yesterday, but I managed to charge the battery 5kw and it lasted until 6am this morning so cheap day

I cas assure you it's a bad March, best March I've had was 2020 with 430kWh, and that was from the 4kW system, so far this month it's produced exactly half that. Worst March was 2018 with just 251kWh.

 

[Oldman2]

My best March was 2020 too with 401.8kWh with 2.940kW

Yours is pointing exactly south though isn't it?

My SolarEdge system is at a 30 degree pitch, yours is at 35, never quite worked out the exact orientation of ours, 8 are pointing roughly south east, and the others pointing south west.

Just goes to show how much difference pure south facing makes.

@Welshman That's the one, although I was still working. Also had my best ever May at 712kWh, and I think April may also have been the best that year.

I recall April that first year being unreal for sunshine, didn't have panels then but I used to push my youngest on his trike thing as he was around 2yrs old and he had a sun tan.. says it all.

Yup, what a spring and summer that year was……..lets hope april brings the same. This time next week i will be another year older

Its not good out there today……its grey, dark and wet

 

[SoliD]

Pulling 3 kW here currently now it's stopped raining. Still bloody grey.

 

[Freefaller]

Grim today tomorrow looks better for me. But getting quite tired of the grey and rain. It's been weeks of rain

 

[Ron-ski]

Well that was a bit better than expected, 11.19kWh, but good job I fully charged the battery overnight. Tomorrow still looking good.

 

[The Angry Welshman]

Just a tad under 4kwh here, it was grim most of the day…….then when the sun came out, i was crying that we didnt have some west facing panels. But hey, it all helps with lowering the bills

We managed 14.7kWh today somehow despite not a lot of sunshine. We even exported 7.6kWh as the battery was still at 68% this morning.

We've only used 23kWh from the grid in the last 17 days so if this is what a "bad" March is like then that's a good sign.

Up to about 270kWh this month from our 4.8kW array.

 

[gpuerrilla]

12.7kWh nothing exported today.

 

[SoliD]

9.5, rained until about 2 but the sun was trying to poke through so getting 2.5kw even through the cloud. Perked up in the afternoon but was too late in the day by then to get much after 5pm.

 

[The Angry Welshman]

Finally a possible full day of sun.....just put the washing machine on to soak up some neutrons
