Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Oh well 4.27kwh yesterday

Hobbo2006

9.44kWh clocked up yesterday. Immersun and replacement inverter being installed today. By the end of the day I'll be able to remotely monitor generation again and know that any excess generation is being directed to our immersion.... exciting times for a SPV'er.

now generating 3.1-3.2 kW

time to get the immersion on

sorry team GC

thanks for supporting my FiT payments

The great start to September continues. Already notched up 15kWh today and still kicking out 3kW. Currently ahead of PVGIS monthly estimate pro-rata by 37% (and that's ignoring the generation time remaining today).

Immersion is getting replaced next Thursday so will then be able to turn the Immersun on.

snap!

I'm sunbathing in the garden, beautiful blue skies

2 days from my optimum roof pitch angle

hope the weather continues

got my 3 kW immersion on

I'm interested in the Immersun, hoping the price might come down over the winter, then get one ready for next year

Will be interested to see how you get on

To be honest I'm more interested in the winter performance of the Immersun, because I know in the summertime it's going to be a belter (based on the less efficient other devices that other's have reported results from this summer). Our export will be less this winter due to Mrs SDJ being on maternity leave but hopefully the Immersun will still deliver some benefit on most days.

Rest assured I will be posting plenty of stats from my experience with it :beer:

yeah, agree with you. with my steep roof i would get more benefit hopefully in winter months, but at the price and my water consumption, not sure for me it's worth it yet

with more interest and more items like this coming to market, hopefully prices will drop

then I'll have something to spend some of my FiT money on, savings on top of savings

look forward to your results, good luck :beer:

Sunny day and a very respectable 10.93kWh generated, almost double PVGIS estimate for September day.

don0301

22.4 kWh today

*shakes fist at God for the periods of high altitude clouds*

forecast tomorrow cloudy, but sat sunny, my best roof angle day

still wondering why my autumn 'peaks' are below spring ones, maybe i should clean the panels?

can't grumble too much

Notched a 20.7kWh today, over double September PVGIS of 9.81kWh :beer: The cool breeze certainly helped, and the late cloud to help with a bit of bonus diffusion.

Don0301, is the air temperature higher at this time of year than the equivalent March optimum day? That may account for the lower generation.

Only need another 34kWh to hit our (revised) PVGIS target for the year and there's still 5 and a half weeks until our anniversary of the installation.

Forecast doesn't look bad for tomorrow either, which is a rarity for SDJ's birthday
