Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

sly_dog_jonah

PVGIS target: 377kWh
Generation: 359.4kWh
Normalised Generation: 97.6kWh/kWp
Generation vs PVGIS: -4.7%
Generation vs PVGIS (since installation): +15.9%

...and we just exceeded £1k FiT income yesterday :beer:

We only had 2 days where we beat 20kWh (9th & 19th) and only got into double figures for 17 days. Worst day was a 4.1kWh on the 5th.

Generation was lower than March (363kWh), April (379kWh) and May (444kWh).

After the rain in the past 24hrs, I don't think I could have cleaner panels. Unfortunately the forecast looks like they will keep getting cleaned for the start of July at least. About time we all did a sun-dance.

Think this may be my best day so far this month; done 2.6kWh already and its only 12:00 noon.:j

Well under PGVIS of 437kWh with a total of 411kWh for June so not awful. Annoying though as a really good day could have matched it.

Lovely start to July - long may it continue!

hi there I'm new to this board but have been lurking a while with a lot of interest in the discussions here.

our June readings were around 89% of forecasted target - 330 kw rather than 370 kw.

Our PV system is about 7 months old, it is 3.84kwp - 16 panels of 240W (Sanyo HIT), we are SSE facing, a 45 degree roof pitch with a bit of shading in the afternoon. So far we have generated almost 1900 kw since installation, we are forecast to generate around 3200 kw pa according to the SAP estimate.

I've been comparing my energy consumption bills for several years, as we are quite low users of energy and live in a modern house. We have noticed around 42% electricity consumption reduction and interestingly around 21% consumption in gas since the PV has been installed. Some of this reduction from the previous year is probably due to temperatures/weather etc.
Have any forum-ites got any energy consumption reductions they could share? I'm getting too impatient to wait an entire year and thought some people who have had their systems awhile might have some longer term bill savings they might be able to mention.
I think our energy consumption patterns/habits have remained pretty much the same, except that I do try use appliances in daytime when sun is out.
thanks in advance for your input!

Well below PVGIS (and last year's June generation) but only slightly down on PVGIS for the year to date.

June 2012 solar generation was 88% of PVGIS
June 2012 solar generation was 81% of June 2011

January-June 2012 solar generation was 99% of PVGIS
January-June 2012 solar generation was 92% of January-June 2011

Hello and welcome to the thread.

I'm still generating ATM (27W) but the day's total is 15.32 kilowatt hours

Hi

8.18kw for me today

462.2kWh for June. C'mon Mr Blue Sky!
Not as good as May's 497 kWh but still OK.

Made 10.41kWh today.





16 x 250kWp Sanyo Hit250 solar panels. SMA 3.8kWp inverter. SW facing roof. 30 degree pitch with no shading.
