Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Martyn1981

It was a decent day yesterday with 0.73 O's, and now predicting 96% for November, but nothing but rain forecast for the next two days, so it all comes down to a sunny 30th to rescue the figures.

Okay, try this then..0.92 O's..:rotfl:..
Edit: Where has everyone gone???:eek::rotfl::rotfl:

Against all odds, we had a few sunny spells yesterday and generated 4.007 kWh (which I believe is a whole one and a bit of your O thingys)

'Everyone' hasn't 'gone' anywhere - they're just losing faith that the sun will ever shine again Cheer up guys - it will get even worse for next three weeks but will then start getting better.

or as Percy put it

if winter comes can spring be far behind

To put it all into perspective, on the weather news BBC this morning they showed a picture of Tromso which is predictably under snow. Today the sun will set at 11.30 (am!) and they won't see the sun again for I think it was 48 days in mid-January.

Count your blessings!

Seventh full year figures from Bedfordshire.

2.5kWp Hyundai panels, SMA 2500HF, SE, no shading.


Yr 7 - Actual 2476kWh
Yr 6 - Actual 2319kWh
Yr 5 - Actual 2384kWh
Yr 4 - Actual 2475kWh
Yr 3 - Actual 2461kWh
Yr 2 - Actual 2312kWh
Yr 1 - Actual 2395kWh

MCS 2146kWh
PVGIS 2233kWh


Given that the panels are now seven years old, I'm very pleased that this year was a record - even if only by 1kWh! :T :beer: :T

I'm sure there's a slight error there somewhere !

Sunrise should be before local noon and sunset after it. At 69.6492° N, 18.9553° E , Tromso's local noon should be occurring approx. 15 mins before the local timezone's 'official noon' . Sunrise this morning should therefore have been before 11:45 local time and sunset after 11:45(but possibly still before 12:00 local time ?)

A surprise couple of hours of brightness this morning gave us 0.32 Os in an otherwise very grey day.

Barely daylight again today apart from the sun making a guest appearance between 1 & 2 pm boosting output from 0.13 to 0.579 O's before going back to sleep again. Still, just under 3 kWh diverted into the Leaf so enough for around 10 miles at winter rates. Looks like it will be Friday before the sun wakes up again over here!
