14.5kWh and 7.9kWh exported.
Almost certainly inverter related. Lotawatts is peaking at 7.5kW where as Katie is stuck at 5kW from 11-4pm. 2.5kW of clipping for at least 5 hours.On PV Output Katie's is 7.38kWp at 30 degree pitch, south facing with no shading.
LotaWatts is 8.3kWp 37 pitch south east facing with some shading.
Look at today's generation, @katie279 is at 33.7 kWh and LottaWats is at 47 kWh.
Given how close together they appear to be and not a lot of difference in systems, certainly not enough to account for the big difference i notice most days, it just seems a bit odd.
Don't you have any batteries to offset that clipping period?Yes, think that's right - have a gen 2 givenergy inverter which maxes out at 5kw, so think that's expected - although it's an interesting point...!
Yes, I've got 19.5kwh of batteries, plus 100kwh if car batteries to charge...!Don't you have any batteries to offset that clipping period?
Can't you delay the charging of the Givenergy batteries until your peak period and then benefit from a maximum of 8.3 kW from your 5 kW inverter?Yes, I've got 19.5kwh of batteries, plus 100kwh if car batteries to charge...!
