Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

pinnks

Sun has dipped below the horizon at the end of what turned out to be the best month ever - "ever" being since June 2013 of course...

Best month overall at 682kWh or 130 Os:beer:

Best run of high production with virtually max production every day for the last 10 days.:beer:


Makes up for a rubbish March and even more rubbish April. Not done the maths but looks like back on track for the year as a whole.

Long may this weather last, though a few showers to wash the panels would not be bad either:rotfl:

Yes I noticed my panels are covered in dust and bird !!!!.

A best month ever here also: 528 kWh, 140 Os. May 2018 was previous best month ever. About 76% of generation used at home. That falls below our normal high standard of 80% plus. The newish heat pump tumble dryer is probably the reason for our declining usage.

Washed my panels the other day - harvested rain water from our 600l IBC tank, pump and 4m water-fed squeegee from Lidl (other supermarkets are also available - lol).

Interesting challenge as hose and squeegee full of water weighs a few kilo. Missed a couple of bits which you can see from the ground but probably worth doing every now and then, especially when there has been a long spell of dry and dusty weather.


That said, I am not about to go into business washing panels!

Not quite Heaven today but not grumbling about 6.9 O's.

Now, new for me this month, I've actually gone to the trouble of recording everything properly this month for a change, by that I mean on a sheet of paper rather than on any old scrap that's about.. Long may it continue.

Total generation for June 597 Kw/h

Total electricity Imported for June 59 Kw/h

Hi All

Best June to date by a couple of percent & ending up as second best monthly total, behind July 2013 by less than the average daily generation over the past week .... what a difference a 31 day month makes! ... :cool:

Best May followed by best June ... now what are the chances of continuing the trend for a while? ....

Best June here, and second best month ever by just 18kWh (July 2013).

Got 757kWhs 135.66 O's.

Imported 74kWhs, consumed 223kWh's, probably 20% of that being A/C. Exported 609kWhs.

Yearly total now predicting 102% and 4,444.4kWhs. :cool:
