Very little rain here today - but just enough to ensure that tanks are all 100% full
Eh? I came home from work early to take my motorbike for some work on it and got p*ssed wet through going to Donny at dinnertime. Left it there and fetched it back at T-time and had my second drenching of the day....woo....hoo
I did do 3.6 today, leave it everyone else to decide if that's O's or kWh

Gentle drizzle most of day; one or two short spells of heavier rain.
Total rainwater collection around 300 litres - but compare that with the over 1000 litres I reported earlier in the week (Tues/Wed night I think) - that's what I call heavy rain !NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Not a great day here, but Wales (at least the south) must have dodged the worse of it as I got 1.88 today, and guess what boys and gals ..... thems the good stuff, 24 carat Os.
Not very often my system outperforms the average on here (when size is taken into account). So I'll do a short & quick smug dance, then retreat back into my hole before the weather changes, and all your sunny smiles return.

I seem to have faired better than many today with a massive 5.7kWh generated most this morning from the panels facing ESE.
My system has been running for 31 days now and the attached pie chart is slightly depressing for spring.
Best output - 18/4/14 22.405kWh
Worst output - 4/4/14 4.394kWh
Average Os per day - 2.82.Cheers,

Sounds like I should be over the moon with 8.5kwh or 2.1 O's today then.
Almost had the solar PV system a month now and generation meter is reading 432kw/h - not a bad start at all.0 -

May take a rain check on the Pannad then...:D

The O's chart is really impressive, I bet even Eric is getting convinced of the way forward...Ageing_Stick_Insect wrote: »I seem to have faired better than many today with a massive 5.7kWh generated most this morning from the panels facing ESE.

Drat! Ok, I pass the mantle to you. Don't let me down, quick 30 seconds of smug dance will do. :dance:

Mart.
An easy bet to win ! But it reveals another problem with these mythical Os : how is Oscar going to send Martyn his winnings ? Or on an even more fundamental note, how will they decide between themselves on the value of 10 Os ?NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

That's an easy one, Oscar owes Mart 55.8kWh from his stash, not rocket science to work out either, you only need to look at Oscar's signature.
Nice win Mart 2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0
