Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

A nice 3.8 O's(25kWh) today, shame the other half has been out most of the day so most will have been exported.....wish I had an immersion!!

4.27 O's or 17.1 kWh here today:j

Best day since late August 2014:T

12,700 / 3,780 >>> 3.36 Os. Very little sun really sighted.

Decent (but still breezy) day yesterday pulled in 19.3 kWh.

Today was even better. The wind had dropped, the sun was out, and overall quite warm. 20 kWh, exactly an Hawaii :j

15.31kWh or a Typhooo + .83 ho's

That'll do me nicely!

Only 3.8 O's for me today....:eek:

Probably an April record here, but 9:30am, still too dark to activate the inverter!

Banging out around 2 kWh!

Lots of high thin cloud which effected production. Only ended with a Hawaii +.58 O's (22.19 kWh) today. Was looking for a Sixer!

I have the Immersun and am pleased with it. I don't know anything about the others but in essence they are just a clever switch which is interposed into the circuit between consumer unit and immersion. They then measure what is being generated and used and put the rest into to immersion. Not quite that simple in electronics terms but that is the principle.


One thing the immersun can do which I don't think all, if any, of the others can is to feed up to 3 outputs. One for the immersion (usually) and the others for, say, a radiator. They just have to be resistive loads, so not a TV or whatever.


I have a couple of oil-filled rads attached. Once the immersion is hot the first rad turns on; when that reaches full temp the other rad turns on. The immersion checks in every 15 mins to say whether it is "hungry" again, and so on. You can also set the division between outputs to "equal" and they then get a set time each. Max load at any time is 3kW but you can plug several devices into one output as long as total load is not exceeded.


The sensor can be wired or wireless and you can cascade up to 4 more immersuns as slaves if your system can deliver up to 15kW. they can each have 3 devices of course.


They are soon to bring out a web-based monitoring system which will record import, export, use and diverted which sounds a bit like other systems doing that but might make the maths look better. It will cost about £100. Also, looking on the immersun site thet have just reduced the price - go take a look.


hope this helps...

Thanks pinnks, I forgot to say our array is only 2kw so would that mean we are unlikely to generate enough surplus to need to think about several different outputs as with the immersun?

Good day yesterday with nearly 4 O's plus a tank full of nice hot water thanks to the newly fitted iBoost. Plus log store still intact!!

My first typhoo of the year! 12.84 kWh / 3.21 O's

(And my best day since Sep 10th 2014)
