Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Martyn1981

Nice day in South Wales, not exactly a great summer's day, but better than rain. 16 East + 9 West.

According to the forecast the next 9 days look quite nice, not brilliant, but mostly sun with a little rain, rather than the last 3 months, mostly rain with a little sun.

August looks like closing almost on average, but only because the West system has been doing the heavy lifting, whilst the East enjoyed a nice morning wash.

Mart.

10.74kWh today.
Started off sunny,then lots of rain followed by more sun.
Tomorrow looks favourable.
Won't be far off 400kWh for August hopefully:D

Better today 8.4 kWh; this month, if, I manage 10kWh the morrow, I will have achieved 18% over PVGIS for August. :j:dance: Just hope that as it's a Full Moon tonight it gets far enough around to shed some light; :idea: desperate days !

End of first full month,4th July install so not full month total 419 kwh. August (first full month ) 450.8 kwh .17.67 kwh today . So it would seem a east/ west split system works ok (phew glad of that ).Npower contract form received today,so now I'am official .Legoman 67 looks like your system is similar to mine. with 4kw panels and sma inverter.Like to see your August total?

Before Legoman gets in; per kWh per Kw system you did 112.7 compared to my 115.64. Apples to Pears spring to mind.

Today 10.1kWh Total log of 289.1kWh for August....Happy Days. :rotfl: Oh, and I got paid FIT yesterday in 4 working days :beer:

System: M1 3.58kWp ESE

Total generation: 311kWh

Generation per kWp: 86.87kWh


System: M2 2.0kWp WNW

Total generation: 179.9kWh

Generation per kWp: 89.95 kWh


The WNW system beat the ESE system. In fact the ESE closed on 92.3% of target, and the WNW on 108.4%. The afternoons have been consistently better than the mornings this month, quite odd.

Made 15.44kWh today:rotfl:
Up to Aug total Generation was 2540kWh(SB)
With this months it's.............2924kWh(gen meter)
I know that makes 384 kWh but, I took last months reading from my Sunny Beam, and it was telling me fibs!(see earlier post)
I re-calibrated on Aug 8th and took 25kWh off my(Aug) total.
Which means I could have made 409kWh??
