We have a Hawaii here. Even with late afternoon shading and south east facing roof... I'm still anticipating a 6 O day!3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.
Surrey/SE. 30 degree roof pitch, chimney shading from mid afternoon.0 -
Vomitypsice I`d be very wary with only a 140l cylinder. In the last week I`v just fitted flow restrictors on both our showers as our hot water was running out too quickly after only one of us showered and that`s with a 210l tank! Both our shower heads were flowing over 16l/min, but now are about 7.5l/m.
I also turned immersion stat right up to full and tank stat slightly back, in the hope that the immersion keeps the tank toppped up during daylight hours, even if the DHW is on.
Specification say;
Max @ 1.0 bar = 16l/min Min @ 1.0 bar = 5l/min
So at full flow, just over 8 minutes of shower time......0 -
Same result today - little bit below 27kwh.
That's the peak for this time of year for me.0 -
Another record for the year but still not a patch on nigelpm's result - 11.52 kWh or 5.76 O. Best day since 31st August.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0

Two days of almost (couple of drops) normal distributions for me i.e. no clouds at all.
Won't last.0 -
Only a Hawaii + 0.8 O's for me......
2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax:
Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).0 -
A smidge better than yesterday...22kWh. Forecast is still holding strong for more sun over the next few days ☀️☀️☀️4kw (16X250w Sharp). Samil Solar River 3680 TL inverter.
E.mids/SSE. 35 degree roof pitch, no shading.0 -
Still no Hawaii here, but another lovely day with 25.5kWhs or 4.57 Os (if you want to compare ..... and beat
).
So week 2 closed on 138kWhs, what a change from week 1 with 53kWhs. Still projecting 30 down on target and 94% for the month, but the weather is holding good for now, so fingers crossed.
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.0 -

2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0
