Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

6.1 O's today , got 375 kWh against a target of 344 kWh for April

Sterlingtimes

Failed to meet April 2016 PVGIS >>> 367 kWh / 376 kWh = 97.6%.

But in April 2015, I achieved 451 kwh.

Hawaii + 0.70 O's

Ended the month on 105% of Estimate.

17.10 O's off 516 kWh in Apr 15

Our iBoost diverts between 3 to 5 kWh a day unless we are using the washing machine then it is normally around 5 to 6 maybe. Just to mention that our washing machine is plumbed to the hot water and not to the cold because we have constant hot water in the winter from using one of our stoves that supplies all of our radiators. Because our washing machine fills up on hot it saves using electricity when solar generation is low in the winter to heat the water in the machine. So our running costs for the washing machine in winter are fairly low as no heating up the water is involved when running the machine.

4.85 O's today and 5.05 O's just short of target this month.

Similar story here; managed 16% above PVGIS but only achieved 58.26% of OPIS; never mind.:mad:

Just scraped a/an Hawaii today + 0.04 O's.....

5.5 O''s that's April 2016 done and at least will be forgotten as on target rather than Doom and gloom or Extra ordinary

Well I got 19.62 kWh but only stopped generating 5 mins ago as I face 7 o'clock, so maybe you didn't make it. Very surprising though, considering the forecast for our area.

No ! I didn't quite make it - but finished the month just 3kWh short of the PVGIS estimate. Since that's a 30 year average and I was within 1% of it in what has felt like a poor April I'm not that disappointed.


Correction !

Actually, I did get above PVGIS. Confusion arose when I tried to compare my inverter reading yesterday with the TGM reading on 1st April. The two readings are only 20 apart (and somewhat unusually the TGM reads higher than inverter) so my "3 kWh short" becomes "17kWh excess" or around 4% better than PVGIS :j

104% for April - so far exceed target every month this year, 3 on the last day.

April 440kWh v forecast 411kWh = 107%

Nice month, got 537.5kWh (96.3 Os).

ESE 105%
WNW 108%
Total 106% of target

Import was surprisingly low, Usually around 100kWh in April, but only 82kWh this year. No complaints, but no idea why either? Can only imagine how low it will be when I finally find a suitable 1kW kettle. :cool:


Awaiting Exiled Tyke's scores, to see if things have sorted themselves!
