Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

A surprising 2.16 O's; guess the new ABB inverter is better than the old Aurora 'Power One'..:money:..

Everything is white here, the ground, the panels, the sky and the air, but just enough generation to run the pump on the GCH. ;-)Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

Yes, I'm quite surprised to be generating 60W at the moment when even steeper bits of the roof have at least 2" (possibly more) of snow on them. Hopefully that small amount of generation will be enough to encourage thawing on the panels.Martyn1981 wrote: »Everything is white here, the ground, the panels, the sky and the air, but just enough generation to run the pump on the GCH. ;-)NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Just back from a walk with the dog, and noticed that the ESE panels had different amounts of snow, so thought I'd check SolarEdge and see the impact.
The main roof, 13 panels of 185Wp have light dusting on the top 3, but little on the other 10.
The bottom roof/canopy, 5 panels of 235Wp have light snow on the top two LHS and middle. Top RHS is very heavy covered. Bottom LHS has medium coating and bottom RHS is almost as heavy coating as top RHS.

I suppose that technically it has but I'm trying not to get too excited about my 80W outputHopefully that small amount of generation will be enough to encourage thawing on the panels.

A massive 116Wh here. Also, following the positively record-breaking February, it looks as though March will be record-breaking for all the wrong reasons!
March expectation is 12.7 kWh per day. 18 days in we are at 129kWh, so only just over the 50% mark, leaving a target of 20.3 for every day to the end of the month to break even.
We have generated more than 20kWh on a whopping 10 March days over the past 4 years and have generated as much as 22.6 in one day but I think the chances of doing that every day for the remaining 13 days is, well, unlikley:sad:0 -
The second worstest day this month with a staggering...0.12 O's..:(.. 2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Hahaha.....only 0.975 O’ s here today:D16 Sanyo Hit 250s.4kWp SMA 3.8kWp inverter. SW roof. 28° pitch. Minimal shade. Nov 2011 install. Hybrid car. Ripple Kirk Hill. N.E Lincs Coast.0 -
Reached the grand total of 9.77Wh yesterday; that equates to 0.00244 O's.
Hopefully, the snow will slip off the panels today. :snow_grin0 -
I got one yesterday, but only a kWh, not an O, in fact it was 1.1kWh, wow!Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
