Mixed weather. 20.6 kWh / 3.78 kWp >>> 5.5 Os.
New "spare" washing machine has gone live.
Import 20.60 kWh / Export 0.46 kWh.
We are making a good effort at using our generated power to the fullest.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0 -
6.33 COMBINED O's today, that's 41.2kWh.....and we had cloud, same again tomorrow according to the weather predictors
Being misguided as I am, I will take your word on that weather forecast.....

Wish I had an immersion heater, alas, I haven't...but like to think I am not a greedy boy (I lie).
Not too bad a day, still waiting for the double top, 10 O's (I wish). Only a/an Hawaii + 1.76 O's today...that'l do nicely; thank you so much...:beer:...

Today's generation curve was a lot more ragged than Thursday's but even so we managed 26.9 kWh. The occasional shady period plus a gusty wind obviously kept panel temperatures down as we peaked at around 3.8kW rather than Thursday's 3.3.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50

Wow, what a strange day .....
.... The perfect combination of a June day & a strong cool breeze (from the right direction) over then panels made for a great combination ... a massive improvement on the previous record day was lost through a high incidence of small clouds around midday, but by 16:00 we were back on target for smashing the best day ever, this only being lost by more cloud between 17:00 & 18:30 ..... ended up with 3rd best day ever, with the potential for well over 30kWh without the cloud ...
Ah well, there's always tomorrow ... :cool:

... Forgot to mention, from a relatively low start-point solar thermal just about maxed-out the cylinder set temperature today too, so 30kWh combined was well smashed, as was 40 ....
... (question for self) - is a combined 50kWh day possible ??
