Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Should have been a perfect day but I suffered a 20 minute shut down.
according to the gizmo at about 11:00 hrs.

Shutdown for 20 minutes for me today would have lost me around 0.0458333kWh roughly. :eek:

Do you use your Gizmo for readings or Gen Meter? Reason I ask is my original Gizmo used to, sometimes, carry last day over to the next. Current Wattson is showing to be only 0.65% below Gen Meter readings, which is very encouraging; as we don't really know who's side the Gen Meter is on for certain. :rotfl:

The generation meter - the one the "generates" the FiT.:D
The "gizmo" reported 9.6 kWh but as we have discussed before, that might be what the inverter thinks the panels have produced, not what it has managed to generate & ram back towards the mains.
In the morning I will try to compare the inverter's generation to date figure with the generation meter's generation to date figure.
I know the latter started from virtually zero - when the installers "commissioned" it, we watched it give a few feeble red flashes @ 16:30 hrs and the reading was 0.72.

Only the (South) West Country is going to get away with no fog on Wednesday according to the BBC.

Morning update

100 meter visibility @ 07:30
Inverter, presumably designed in California suffering a nervous breakdown (like an elderly engine management system) as banks of fog swirled around.
"Warning low sun.........W011 ............Warning low output........restarting in 30 sec ...... volt grid 249.8 ,,,,, Frequency 49.8 ..........5 sec..........restarting....... Temp inverter 6c [ :eek: it was -5.9 outside]

Appeared to stagger into life at 08:01 when the fog briefly cleared and revealed a cloudless sky chris crossed with a dozen vapour trails half of which pointed at Stansted.

Half an hour later the fog is back and the panels are claiming to be generating 0.2 amps

Anyway the inverter claims to have made 3597 kWh and the export meter, at the other end of eight to nine meters of flex, claims 3524 kWh - typical "Prozac" nation optimism ?

Well, my Aurora gives 2630 kWh and the Export Meter less than 15cm away is giving 2562 kWh.

System 1: 4.92 kWh System 2: 4.81 kWh.

Hardly any difference between the systems today. Lower roof angle on system 2 reduced peak power around noon. Clear and sunny most of morning but cloudy most of afternoon.

2.12kwh today... all down hill...

2.9kWh today.
Slightly up at the mo compared to last Dec.
