Combined 10.6 O's...double HAWAII...woohoo


All this sun has made me delirious

I'm not entirely convinced you are taking this seriously? :think:

It's certainly burnt out any maths processing brain cells you might have had !

Total generation in kWh (from above) = 4.5 + 8.2 + 9.43 = 22.13
Totall kWp (from autosig) = 6.5

22.13 divided by 6.5 gives 3.405

That's not quite the same as 10.6 !

Luckily, your FIT paying authority will be using proper units to calculate payment due.

Oh Lordy! I thought you'd find that really funny, getting on board with the joke. But it seems I misjudged the situation




Couldn't resist.....sorry

That'd be nice if they'd get off their ar*es and process my contract for my WNW from November last year, until then I can continue with my dubious mathematical calculations

I'm not entirely convinced you are treating my posts with the level of disdain that they deserve. In this particular matter, LV is way ahead of you! :shocked:

At the start of my post I said the two systems were nearly identical kWp. I then explained the two systems had quite different generation technologies.

No, you didn't say anything, you wrote:

I've two near identical kWp systems.

Now, if you had written "I have two systems with near identical kWp, or even better "I have two different systems with near identical kWp" then your intention would have been a lot clearer.

If you look at my signature you will also see that the two systems are aligned with only 4 degrees difference from true South - one is -4 degrees and the other +8. This is hardly any difference when you consider that the sun itself at noon varies more than this amount from true South from time to time during the year.

You seem to have gone to the same maths school as oscargrouch.

I would say it could make a notable difference, even on the same day depending on the weather.

Also, the roof pitch, at this time of the year, makes little difference. One roof is best for summer generation, the other best for winter generation. So I can't see how greatly flawed any recommendation I may give will be.

I don't agree. At any time of year a different pitch will make a difference, the time of year and type of weather affecting by how much.

The fact you are ignoring these differences is why your conclusions are flawed. Feel free to calculate different pitches and orientations into freely available calculators to see your error in ignoring them.

I believe that comparing the efficiencies of the two systems throughout the year gives a very good insight into the advantages of one technology over the other for different lighting conditions, temperatures and day-lengths.

Not when you are ignoring other factors affecting those two systems.

I couldn't care less about people posting their 'O's.

What bothers me is you and others misleading people who either don't know or don't understand the the 'O' is meaningless for comparing performance of different systems in different parts of the Country.

Nice! But.... how much O`s is that? Just so I can compare systems.

The elusive Hawaii yesterday - 10.28kWh, a record for that early in March.

19.3kWh in Cider Country where it is was cloudless skies all day. A mighty 5.22 O's. 12kWh into the hot water tank too via the ImmerSUN, might be time to turn the hot water programme off soon.

Does ur immerSUN show how much power you`ve transferred to the immersion heater?
I`ve got a solic thing which shows when power is being diverted to the immersion but I have no idea of how much.....any ideas?

Thanks
