Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Coastalwatch

Enjoyed the Steve Wright quote  thanks.

We had an optimiser swapped out yesterday morning and warned that it would take 24 hrs before becoming live online. Imagine my surprise this morning when at 10 oclock there was zero showing on every panel. I thought crikes he forgot to swtich it back on, but no there really was no generation, not previously seen in normal daylight hours in six years since install. Come 11 oclock then at least a third of our panels were showing a return totalling 12 W's!

By contrast, yesterday actually delivered a whole 3 kWh's, 0.3 o.

A grand total of 368 W's today so 0.04 o. 

Panel with replaced optimiser still to show any generation so either not yet online or still kaput!

Another 0.12 Os here today. 

Hoping for some wind over the next week, if no sun, so agile is cheaper!

The forecast at emoncms suggests there's wind on the way. Muse be all those mince pies

0.076 O's Yay I beat Lego (or he didn't round it up)

Talk of mince pies, I had one yesterday just to see if I still don't like them. I decided I don't not like them less than I used to, so had another today. Still up there with cheese scones and rich tea biscuits for "treats" that feel about as enjoyable as a plate of overcooked cabbage though.

1.76 Os today. Bit of a difference, the most since 29 Nov.

0.86 O's best we've had so far this month so I guess I should be happy.

Best day for some time. 0.525 O’s👏👏

1.1 O's, otherwise lovely just to see the sun again and feel some warmth coming through the window rather than cold coming in!
