Better than expected here today. 3.575 O’s 👏

Scaffolding came down Friday so Saturday was first full day without any obstructions, what a start. Surpassed the previous best of 22kwh by a long shot. 6.3 0's

5.5kw panels (14x395w ja solar) facing 150° and 5kwh Huawei Invertor coupled with 10kwh Huawei Luna Battery.

Looking at Sunday's weather it could match it.

Here are the panels installed.


And invertor/battery

Nice setup, you've certainly maximised available roof space. Neat covers over the inverter and battery, I'm impressed.

Do you have any plans for the chimney once FF's are dispensed with?

The covers for the inverter and battery I just made up with some site fascia/soffit. The battery has 300w heaters in them for colder weather.

Chimney will be left as it's it's not being used I did think about a wood burner but can't be hassled with it.

I opened up the lower level roof and insulated and put about 400mm of insulation in there before panels went on, same for main roof, cavity walls insulated too. I've seen my gas usage come down from about 15000kwh a year to 10000kwh with the extra insulation.

Well that's been a good April, ended on 4.6 O's for today
Made a few kw over PVGIS estimate so very happy.
I only have 5 weeks until I have a full year's data and my first benchmark.

14.7kWh or 3.31 O's.

Inverter claims 481kWh for the month which is 101% PVGIS. I need to check my spreadsheet since it somehow gets 102% for the same figures.

Edit: No, it's me. PVGIS is 470.33, not 477.33. D'oh!
102%

5.3 & 3.293 O's so finish the month 101.13% of PVGIS, Which is also 83.05 kWh's behind the exceptional generation achieved in April 2022.

The Barnsley rainforest strikes again, only 2.3 O's for today. Was a bit warmer though.

Merlin139

Another one of those mixed April days. It didn't know what it wanted to do.

Cloud, Sun, Rain but less Sun than anything else.

3.36 O's
