Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Dave_Fowler

I've returned today from a few days away on holiday.

Three good days from the figures recorded on the computer.

Tuesday Total 31.9kWh (15.5kWh System 1, 16.4kWh System 2) = 5.35 Os
Wednesday Total 37.7kWh (18kWh System 1, 19.7kWh system 2) = 6.27 Os
Today (Thursday) Total 36.869kWh (17.664kWh System 1, 19.205 = kWh System 2) 6.19 Os

System 2 in now consistently outperforming system 1 except on two days - 26th & 27 April - when there was a late spell of sunshine when system 2 was in deep shadow.

Hi All

Pretty decent day today, first over 25kWh from pv this year (first since early July last year), plus 7kWh from the thermal (before stagnation) takes us well over 30 for the day - water on the roof ended up at ~110C higher than the HW cylinder though .... and all this with quite a Wedgwood-blue hazy sky all day ...

I'm happy with that .... :cool:

14.23 kwh or 4.74 O's. Not good as others but for me this is quite good, considering where the system is and the shading lol.

This is highest generation of 2013...

We generated 14.58kWh's today 6.075 O's

Certainly making up for our low figures because of our
winter shading issues.

25.9 kWh today (£12.55)

51.7 kWh for start of the month (2 days!).

Quite a few days beating my max daily from the year before.

4-5 hours immersion on, and all afternoon sunbathing.

Starting to forget the miserable March

5.376344086 O's. Not just a record, but 30kWh's exactly. Yippee.

Actually, bit worried that I'd cheated. The WNW system showed 10 on a TGM with 1 decimal place. But the ESE showed 20 on a TGM accurate to 'no' decimals, so might have borrowed some from yesterday, or lent some to tomorrow. Inverters total 19.98kWh's, but before you all rush to say that's not a true 30 total, the ESE inverters consistently under-read by 1.4%.

Yes, I'm that desperate to crack 30, that I'm claiming 20.26kWh's + 10kWh's.

Boy, this is getting sadder by the minute!

Gambling addiction plus financial market "Roundo phobia"? Repeat after me these exact numbers are only significant if you are playing bingo.

We will have to start an agony aunt sub-forum for sufferers and their families.

Q "We had a wonderful relationship, but then my partner joined a strange cult: it seems to be related to gold and sun worship, some strange machine, with flashing lights has been installed on the wall of the closet, it is called an "inverter" [kinky or what?]. Through the magic of the interweb, as soon as the moon replaces the sun in the sky, there has to be some sort of communication.
I have discovered there a priesthood through out the nation. Their lives and households are also ruled by strange instructions from the sun god, as interpreted by the "inverter".
Would a ring of garlic break the spell or should I try a catapult and ball bearings to break the spell."

A, Dear Desperate-of-Middle-England,
Please don't take direct action, this addiction us particularly acute at this time of year and the high current daily fix is particularity powerful as the green shoots emerge from the shadows of mid winter.
This is like the real fix after a season on a maintenance dose of methadone. As a fellow addict, who came within 0.18 of my all time high, I can assure you that, despite the moral panic of the 14th century, when caffeine in the form of chocolate or coffee threatened the structure of society, this addiction will should ease and become just another factor in multicultural Britain.

Hiya John, don't you ever sleep? I'm chuckling away at the bingo and cult comments. Do you want to join the Cabal, I can put a good word in with the 'Grand Wizard' for you?

News this morning, is that we were generating at 5:55 (might have been earlier, but that was the time I decided to get up and feed the fat, diabetic, ginger tom cat that was hitting me on the head). Then exporting by 6:10. Now 450W's and rising fast.

Target import for May (here I go with numbers again!) is 90kWh's, that's a bit tough, but import this morning was only up 5 from start of month.

Dear Aunty PV, we're gonna need a bigger roof!

Really thought I might crack 13 today, but it was not to be, 12.80 kWh (6.40 O's), slightly down on yesterday. I'm sure there was a bit more sun, so maybe it's the higher temperatures.

Another cracking day.

24.9 kWh (£12.07)

76.6 kWh over last 3 days.

Been sunbathing most of the day, getting as crispy as the panels.
