Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"
Comments

It’s been a funny sort of day generation-wise !
Exporting 1 kW by 9am and I’d generated 9kWh before lunch but only 3 and a bit since. And of course forecasters weren't saying anything like that would happen (or at least not till they changed forecast after it had !).
Total for day 12.41 kWh
Tomorrow might be a bit dodgy - we've just had a short sharp snow flurry so I may have to wait a couple of hours before we generate anything.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

I think we should explain that "Oscarz" are kWh's generated divided by the kWp of the inverter. To avoid the "mine is bigger than yours competition".
It is better to post both figures.0 -
Hi All
Well, despite the mainly cloudy skies so far this week we've achieved 30kWh+ over three days .... add to this an extra ~15kWh thermal and it looks like things are finally improving ... just need to maintain this for a week and we'll be back on target for March ...

10.4 bananas today.
Wott, only 2.6 O's ?:D3.1 'O's for me. Which, if I'm not mistaken, is the same as you
Spot on young man, spot on...

Nahhh, folks will understand eventually
Anyway, back to talking bout......
At 10:04 generation reached 1.175kW so the OptiPlug switched on an oil filled heater which was calibrated to an OptiPlug to 825W. During the day, as can be viewed by the graph the OptiPlug reacted virtually immediately to the changing generation of my system. This is evidenced at 10:35 which shows that when the generation dropped to 272W and the usage, with fridges etc running can be seen to show 267W the ‘plug’ ensured that I was still 5W in credit from grid extraction....When the heater is switched on, usage hits the 890W mark, followed by 250W usage which is average house standby mode apart from when some of our three fridge/freezers are on..... How clever is that gizzmo ?...
3.36 O's today, happy with that despite the passing clouds..... Get up Shafeeq, you have had too many.... 2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Suspect you'll find it's either the kWp of panels or kWp of inverter - whichever is the lower.
