Only 0.485 here and yes you can go to three decimal places if it makes me feel a bit better
Round up to 0.5

She's stealing charge from the neighbours and claiming it as solar generation!

The solis app simply states 0.1 kWh.
This month has been crap, seriously, 78kwh so far and it's the last day tomorrow, October did 255.

7kwh for me in sunny south wales……but that one cloud stopped a double digit production day i think.

Yeah was it one of them wide boys that linger for nearly an hour? Feels like that when your used to checking your app and you see it creep in..

Yep and as it drifted away, a slice broke away and lingered for a little longer…..Yeah was it one of them wide boys that linger for nearly an hour? Feels like that when your used to checking your app and you see it creep in..

One more day and we can all see just how bad this November has been.
Be interesting to post total generated, and also total/Kw of panels = X, where X is the amount of kWh per Kw of panels.

One more sunny day left here
, I'll post up the full month tomorrow night, I want to see how the first month with the new Fronius inverter does.
Soldato
is there a solar production chart, showing what we could make each month???

There's solcast forecasting tool it's reasonable but invariably it's never going that accurate. You can use your historical data to see how you fare against the forecast.

ive only been on solar 6wks lol

I hear the valleys need some more rain...

Sign up to solcast. It's a good tool.

Agree - it works nicely with Home Assistant too (which lets me tweak the 'optimism' of the forecast!).
I'd say to not vouch much for the daily forecasts, weekly are vaguely correct and monthly is where you should be making your 'money saved' predictions.... seems pretty accurate over the span of a month so far.

Clouded over here now, still fairly bright but no Sun.
Frost here again this morning, temp just creeping up to 8C at 1pm.
Only 3 weeks to go now to the shortest day/midwinter.

Thanks for sending the sun over to the East finally, been terrible here for days and yesterday felt like twilight!
Managed about 0.3kw yesterday from 5.4kw array!

I'd be keen to see that. At the moment mine doesn't really show much of a forecast:
If I compare that to the dashboard:

Thats Ok, we'll have it back tomorrow and you can have your fog/mist back
80/20 cloud sun so not bad here at least none of the fog issues, may it continue
Temps are dropping already today, just holding on to 7C @2pm
