Solar immersion working brilliantly over the last month with UPS calibrated this morning for much improved run time.
Work started preping a water channel for the hydro too.
Cheers
Can you explain some more about the UPS ?0 -
I don't know what my monthly figures are. I do know though that my ESE should do 639kWh for the last quarter(01/04-30/06) and i'm currently on 679kWh(+40 on the quarter:j)
My SSW with late shading issue is on 625kWh for the quarter but should do 659kWh(5 days to go so still do-able:o)
I managed 19kWh today(4.75 O's) and am still generating about 140W. Wifes done 4 loads of washing,1 x drier and dishwasher on for good measure. And TV on ALL day for the kids:eek:

Broke through the 700kwh barrier today on my ESE system. Now managed 710kWh with 1 day to go for the quarter and the forecast for tomorrow is looking rather good. I've not checked the SSW as its in the garage loft and I can't be bothered to check cos i'm settled with a bottle of Italian red...yum..yum(a Barolo)

Today (Friday of course) was rather disappointing - for June : just 6.78 kWh. But that of course is still well over three times the cost of keeping the panels there for the day.
Forecasts issued last night suggested that today would be pretty much like yesterday, perhaps a bit better but not a lot.
Actually, it was a lot better ! 20.86 kWh bringing June's generation to 19.1% above pvgis forecast.
Slight worry that tomorrow's forecasts are now saying it should be better than today - let's hope they've got one right at last !NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Been lovely here last 2 days, got 20.5kWhs & 30.3kWhs (3.67 & 5.43 Os).
Ahead of June target, and only 4kWhs behind May record high. Tomorrow forecast suggests ...... about 20(ish).
Number crunching day tomorrow. Hopefully lowest import month too!

Young wife helps a bit; 28 Bottles does not last 10 days (less than 3 a night, get real) . Hence two drums running = 46 ltrs...Red, White & Rose.... Ask Eric, they cannot even forecast the weather, with the human body, they have no chance of success..survived for over 65 yrs still working so what the hell....
To be perfecly honest, I like liver & onions, it is my favorite dish....:rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
