Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

A very welcome 2.63 Os. 20.5 kWh is only 86% of daily PVGIS but I was expecting much worse. Other than the safety margin the IBoost insists on, I think we used all of the generation today (and maybe a bit more). I am now going to sit myself down in front of the plasma tv and not worry I don’t have a battery as today there would have been nothing to go in it.

Where’s the sunshine?
Why are weather forecasters so hopeless? A gorgeous day forecast and it is the worst start this month. We are normally generating at least 1kw by 8am even when it is overcast and over 2kw on a sunny day. Today only 200w:mad:Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)0 -

No, I am being a grouch today. We can have two on here.Happier now?:cool:
Much better now though, despite a bit of high cloud. We have been stuck on the edge of a mass of cloud which just never moved but has eventually burned away. It looked much brighter out your way. About 2.5 kwh behind yesterday which wasn’t a great day and 4 kwh behind Monday which was a good day.
I wouldn’t have been so bothered if every forecast I looked at this morning hadn’t been suggesting today was going to be the day.Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)0 -
