Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

[katie279]

Actually this time of year you should get a latitude penalty

Indeed, or at least a clear sky offset!

Think we need @Peteronthesouthcoast to post, if he generated 87.7kwh in summer @katie279 has no chance with how clear it is down here today!

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/kw

That probably is the most "fair" measure, but it does mean that you'll be winning all the time...

A glorious day today. Am I winning the Efficiency mini league for today?

Battery full, excess into the hot water and i've just got home in time for some excess to get into the car.

To be honest we're all winning - we're saving money, lowering our carbon footprint, and helping balance the grid more. So as far as I'm concerned you're all helping me and the rest of the country by doing the right thing

no - i will upload later....but im on 9.4kwh currently off 3.2 systems so very close to 3kwh/kw

Damn! lol

so close to double figures....i can smell it, but the sun is slowly drifting behind the mountains

12.04 and still generating at 1.25, best day for some time I think.

I think this is the 1st day I've seen on pvoutput since I started recording to it, where no one has had a bad solar day, usually at least 1 or 2 people are sat there with almost nothing even when katie has 20kwh for the day

totally agree......its been a good day all round, for all of us

 

[The Angry Welshman]

boom double figures in december in what is very close to the shortest day of the year.......10.1 so far @3.11 kwh/kw

 

[Tavis75]

what size system??

5.4KW

 

[The Angry Welshman]

We topped out at 10.2 sun has gone behind the mountain and we only getting about 30 watts now

 

[Freefaller]

Curses Katie!!

 

[HungryHippos]

She's buying next door and is gonna demolish the house and turn it into a solar farm

I'm at the bottom, please sort the list by efficiency.

We don't want any of that efficiency talk here...
