Still ticking along at average here with a month end prediction of 102%. Unusually for Jan though getting about average per day, rather than alternating between 0% and 200% each day., but that works well for the A/C units, ticking along gently during the day.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.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.5 -

Best day for me yesterday. 7.05kWh or 0.79 O’s.Not quite a reference day, some milky cirrus cloud pegged back my afternoon output.
Overall in mid January it’s 42.61kWh, or 4.78 O’s since the start of the month. 35% of consumption comes from the panels, and just 5.12kWh is exported.
I got very close to my “free cup of tea day” four days ago with 2.7kW generated briefly. It will be a moment to rejoice when this day happens. I think I’m close to that day.
Im maximising my utilisation by running two washing machine and one dishwasher load on the sunny days. Dishwasher has two heating cycles, and washing machine has one. I’m able to interlace the operating start times so the washing machine heating cycle fits right between the two on the dishwasher load!8.9kw solar. 12 panels ESE, 16 panels SSW. JA solar 320watt smart panels. Solar Edge 8KW HD wave inverter. Located Aberdeenshire3 -
