Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

11.7kWh here, need at least 9.61kW per day here on in to equal my count for June:(

Got a very fine 20 today (looking like the same for tomorrow), so week 3 closed 'on average'. Week 2 down about 10, and week 1 down about 45. With some extreme luck, week 4 (well the whole last 10 days) might just come in above average and repair some of the damage, a bit like the last 10 days of May did.

Maybe if Eric does his world famous naked sun dance whilst swinging lengths of lucky seaweed around in the air, we might just be in with a chance?

19 today for me.

Since Valentine's day I gave generated 2 MW, my day time usage has been 1MW, half of what it was for the previous two years and I notice that my Economy 7 is also down by about 0,25 MW. This might be as a result of switching from 2 washing and drying and re-heating water in the day, rather than in the early hours of the morning.
Though this is just a comparison with the previous two years - it is better than just random "noise" caused by difference in our pattern of living.

Could you tell me how your two systems work both facing ESE & ESE ?

Bet you have not done more than 13.5kWh...:)

For me 17.1 kWh today, very nice thank you:T 6.35 hrs of sunshine compared to 4.03 hrs yesterday. Even better the morrow, no cloud from 7:00 - 19:00; 25C by 14:00. Same mixture for Tuesday....Thank you www.daventryweather.co.uk

Phew 23.78 kwh some cloud this morning . My best result yet
Praying for 25kwh tomorrow fingers crossed. I did not think an east/wast split would do this well. Thank you Oscargrouch for the nice welcome.

Phew, 12.48kWh, best day for ages, at last one worth posting! Some cloud so hoping for better over the next four days - might even beat my all-time record set on 30th April.

Hiya Oscar, got 21 today.

2 systems, one on the main roof, 2405W (13 panels) 30deg pitch with a SB2500HF, and one on the lower roof 1175W (5 panels (2 installed on brackets to act as a back door canopy)) 20deg pitch with a SB1200. Couldn't share an inverter as at the time we couldn't think of one that had dual MPPT and could cope with the low voltage of the 5 panel set up, hence 2 systems. With hindsight a SolarEdge system would have worked well.

System 3, the ill fated, Gods are against me, come on guys there has to be a way of doing this, DNO approved, DNO disapproved, DNO approval lost, DNO approved again - WNW 2000W (8 panels) 30deg pitch SE2200 system, is still hanging in the balance. Scaffolding went up yesterday for install tomorrow, but panels didn't arrive. Fingers crossed for Thursday, then an almighty rush to get all the paperwork complete and scanned and registered!!!!!!!

I don't mind a challenge, especially after the first 6 installers told me this couldn't be done - but this is getting silly now.

Mart.
