    hi

    6.85kWh today.....
  • Not a bad weekend's graft by the PV: 11.9kWh Saturday & 16.3kWh today. >12kWh over the two days was ImmerSUN'd into the water tank. Normal service has resumed in Cider Country: on course to beat PVGIS by 47%.

    One week to anniversary of installation: total generation to date 3482kWh vs PVGIS-Classic estimate of 3200kWh per year (+8.8%). Quietly optimistic that we should surpass 3520kWh, which would be +10% for the year.

    Yes the update is interesting, I'm down a bit on you diode, the weather, location, my slight shading, system differences, who knows? Anyway it will be interesting to follow over a longer timescale.

    Has she got the message that just because the sun is shining, it is not yet in the 11:00 - 15:00 zone (soon to be 11:00 - 13:00 winter time table) and it is probably not a good idea to turn on dish washer, clothes washer and drier at the same time.:rotfl:

    15 kWh on Sunday - even managed to turn on the immersion for an hour as the generation had got up to 2.8 kW - the days of 3+ kW at noon are definitely over for this year.
