Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

It`s not that people don`t like the smileys, it`s that they aren`t working...well not for me anyway. I, as well as others, are seeing descriptions of the emoji`s you are trying to post

• Daily Production
  40.60kWh
• Monthly Production
  954.10kWh (of which only 143kWh got diverted to the immersion heater)
• Yearly Production (so far in 2020)
  2.47MWh
• Total Production (started beginning of December 2018)
  7.72MWh

This makes May 2020 the best yet month for this installation. I think 25th May could have been the best day, with 46.4kWh.

Aaahhh, thanks shavy, they are always animated on my screen...how strange is that??..On my screen they are animated using G Chrome and IE / Edge....

Best month ever at just under 600kWh, 129% of PVGIS estimate for the month.

Ended the month with another Hawaii 5.6O's.

Just 18 kWh of gas used (at the beginning of the month).

Cost of imported electric on Agile average of just 1.06p(+VAT)/kWh

Insane month here, best May previously was 694kWh in 2018, never had a 700 May, and still haven't with a crazee 849kWh, totally destroying the previous best ever of 775 in July 2013 by almost +10%.
So, 135% of PVGIS and 152 O's.
Import was 102kWh.
Consumption was 311kWh (low due to reduced BEV use/charging).
Export 640kWh.
Gas consumption ~100kWh.
Petrol, zero fills, just a few idling's to turn the engine over and one run around the block.
Year end prediction (if average for rest of year) is 108%.

Good to see someone else with similar roof orientation to mine. Because East/West roof systems are so much less efficient than those that vaguely point south I had given up posting O’s. I can still, though, enjoy useful power without efficiency. (I look at my roof as a lazy V8 with a wide power band rather than a cammy 4 cylinder with good peak output but lacking the power when you really need it.)

Last month PV produced was 21% higher than my previous best month coming in at 1028.87 kWh. Best day was 30th May with 45.72 KWh (5.86 O’s for those interested). Over most of May though despite a peak output of only 4.7kw (from a 7.8kw system) we have been enjoying a minimum of 2kw from 7am to 7pm and 3kw from 10am to 6pm.

Our east roof would do better if it were not for a couple of large Sycamore trees which blot out the sun until around 6.45 am. The sun is at 90* to our East roof at around 4.30am (if it were awake by then) and the west roof at 4.30pm. For much of the year the West roof is shaded by trees (our own) from late afternoon but the sun is currently high enough in the sky to clear most of them. Measured on its own though the West roof can produce over 6 O’s on a good day.

Theoretically with the longer days we could produce more in June but it didn’t work out like that last year.

PVGIS 'forecast' (Climate-SAF)  for May is 474 kWh.   Actual generation last month was 604 kWh  (27.4% above forecast).

This was our best ever month since August 2011.  Previous best was July 2014 with 600.4kWh

That's exactly what I've always seen on my PC and phone, although the post yesterday at 10.36pm had animated things all over it!

My system generated 696.99 kWh last month here in Bedfordshire and 147% of target.  The best month ever, by quite a margin!
So close to 700!!!
