Guess I must be inline for the spoon! 0.27 O's :mad:

Massive peak production of 0.255 kW at 12:30

Phew, 0.29 O's yesterday, that was close! :eek:

I'll keep it short lest others moan, you can plug the wu and SolarEdge API info into the settings screen.

Click settings at top right of pvoutput.org page, then scroll to the bottom, click edit system (assuming you have created your system?!) and then fill in the boxes as indicated in pic below...



Use the link 'Find Station' against Weather Station box, to find your nearest weather station that uploads live data.

Although you won't get any weather data unless you load data during the day - pvoutput won't display weather data on it's own, it must have data from another source in order for it to pull the data.

Entered the API IDs but nothing happening - do I need to give it 24 hours? It says it should poll every 15 minutes?

Snap! 1.2 O's for me here today:)

Wednesday looking better:D

1.44 O's here. Still averaging 12.something kWh per day with target of 9 but the month is still young and that can soon go well downhill

Been a bit busy for last week; better late than never I suppose so here are my Sept results :-
Climate-SAF : 316.5kWh
Actual : 344.6
Excess : 28.1 or 8.9%

Oscar,

Me ignore a question? Surely not - just not reading the posts properly.

My two systems are pretty much built on the same technology. As expected the south-facing system generates more per panel but is affected by shade in the afternoons when that dratted recently repaired chimney casts a shadow on one or other panel. Overall I get ~10% more per kWp from the smaller system than from the other, so 5% real gain given that it is half the size (pretty much what my installer predicted).

What is interesting is that in the mid-winter months that 1,750Wp seems to produce more per month than the 3,500Wp system. Only had one winter so far but must mean we get more good mornings than afternoons at that time of year and the shading from neighbours' houses with the low sun also impacts on the larger system.

What is also interesting is that given the different inverter and less panels, i.e. lower voltages, the small system does not come on line at the same time as the larger even though it is in sunlight whereas the other one has reflected light only. Seems the larger system is producing about 80W before the smaller one turns on. It then quickly overtakes the larger one with the strengthening morning sun.
