I still have snow on my panels. I'm sure Katie is sabotaging me.
Soldato
Thats good to know. thanks
I will try and install some even though my roof is not south facing. its more west/east facing if that makes sense?
Soldato

Man of Honour

HipposLair is in relegation position, but fear not, the sun is shining.
It still irks me that people don't just do hourly updates, would make comparisons so much easier!

Also I think for fairness, we should prorata the generated amounts to equalise everybody to a max 4kW of generation.
That way it isn’t the one with the biggest that is better, I’m sure that how normal life works out isn’t it…..

i thought we was doing it as kwh/kw....i'm running at 2.06kwh/kw at the moment compared to some in the team who are running at between 0.9 to 1.3 kwh/kwAlso I think for fairness, we should prorata the generated amounts to equalise everybody to a max 4kW of generation.

Exactly is the most basic level of balancing to at least give a fair representation of comparisons

That's what I've been saying all along (but someone gives me some stick for that, but I can take itAlso I think for fairness, we should prorata the generated amounts to equalise everybody to a max 4kW of generation.

), simply divide kWh you've generated by the Kw of panels, which gives kWh generated per Kw of panels.PS. 5.69kWh so far today with 4kw array

My battery is on not playing mode after a low charge yesterday
At least I have the energy divererter, right now 0.7kw is being sent to the hot water tank

Well in that case, I want a latitude bonus then for being higher North!
Size matters is all I can say!
Nuclear power plants don't need to prorata their efficiency so old coal stations look better!
