    Shafeeq- 'accidentally' setting light to the neighbour's tree ?


    Honest it was Accident..... I didn't mean to do it... It just happened.... specially now shading is getting more and more..

    I have 2 enemies now, the Tree and HOT weather... The Solar Panel now going above 2.3 kwh.. arrrrgg been waiting for SUNNY weather.. but too hot for solar panels...

    Well not too much excitement even though all the sun we had...

    1/7 7.62 kwh 2.54 O's
    2/7 4.15 kwh 1.38 O's
    3/7 8.23 kwh 2.74 O's
    4/7 11.35 kwh 3.78 O's
    5/7 14.12 kwh 4.71 O's
    6/7 16.23 kwh 5.41 O's
    7/7 16.47 kwh 5.49 O's
    8/7 13.03 kwh 4.34 O's
    9/7 14.07 kwh 4.69 O's
    10/7 2.83 kwh 0.94 O's
    11/7 13.65 kwh 4.55 O's
    12/7 11.34 kwh 3.78 O's
    13/7 11.87 kwh 3.96 O's
    14/7 12.90 kwh 4.30 O's

    So not too good considering the sun we had...
  • Saint Swithin's Day today. Hope this means 40 more days of generation in excess of 20kWh per day. :D

    17.6kWh already notched up today, another 6.3kWh needed to hit 6MWh total generation.

    22.9kWh today (6.18 O's) which is slightly up on Sat/Sun as it was a little cooler & breezier in Cider Country, plus there was some afternoon fluffy stuff to diffract some radiation our way.

    TGM is teasing me with a reading of 5999.0 kWh.

    15.44 kwh / 5.14 O's beat past 6 days or so generation.

    The Tree survived. . Still causing shading .

    Not sure I can go on!

    After Saturdays disappointment of slipping under 30kWhs, it just goes from bad to worse. Last two days got 28.8kWh and 29.8kWh (5.16 & 5.34 Os). It's just not fair. ;)

    Just to be serious for a minute, 28.8 is the lowest figure in an 11 day run, that totals 337.6kWh's - Wowza!

    @tunnel - cheers, been researching 'split system' AC's with (effectively) ASHP capabilities. Could possibly supply most of my daylight heating Mch/Apr & Sep/Oct, when temps outside allow a decent COP, and most leccy coming from the PV. Definitely got me pondering.

    Mart.
    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.
  • @ yesterday ...

    Half way through the month with 72% of target met :)

    At this rate looking at ~600kWh/£300 for July :D

    Cheers
