January results.
Decent month with 105% of target. Large spread, with 107% for the ESE and 98% for the WNW.
Generated 99.6kWh (17.85 O's).
Imported 540kWh.
Exported 35kWh.
Total consumption 604kWh.
Gas was ~1,529kWh. [GCH, DHW & oven.]
Consumption still down to a more reasonable level. All BEV charging was done overnight. A2A units used a lot, when PV sufficient, and overnight on cheap rate. GCH is on.
Good Jan result, only beaten in 2015 & 2023.
Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.3 -
While I’d love to be able to claim the 3.66 O’s that the FusionSolar app is claiming my panels produced today I’ll come clean and admit that the app has a problem. It’s rubbish. I noted that it was claiming 6.1 kWh before the sun was even up and I never believe anything it reports unless I can cross reference it against something else. Octopus agrees and the battery charge last night has been incorrectly assigned to PV generation.
Anyone know a way of measuring and recording solar generation without relying on a data farm. Something that can give instantaneous readings rather than a reading every 5 minutes that only seems to reflect what is happening now (a cloud) rather than the sunshine we experienced for 4 mins 30 seconds.8 x Jinko Tiger Neo 54c 415W, Huawei 3k L1 HV ph Hybrid inverter and 2 x 5kWh LUNA batteries on 15° roof facing SW on the southern edge of Bristol.0
