    Gosh, so many posts about how much has been generated today, how much sunshine there will be tomorrow...

    Is this the equivalent of the range anxiety that owners of electric cars suffer from?

    The only anxiety I suffer is that damn wooden spoon!

    It's because of the limited comparrison that I want to see my import against an average all electric home. It's no big deal, but knowing the data is there and not being able to display it is frustrating.

    I'm aware of the other portal, but haven't bothered with it as it still won't give the data I want and it all just gets data overload tbh.

    I think you are asking for too much fine tuning for the price that these folks charge for the use of servers. Who, in all honesty, is going to bother with all electric homes; electric and oil only; and so on and so forth...they are only making monitors for the main market, in our case Solar Power.....Surely, you can work out the rest for yourself....smiley-happy096.gif......smiley-confused013.gif...... coffee.gif
    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: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    I could yes. I guess you are unaware that they will at some point in the future be charging for service? They intend having 2 levels of service. Basic, which will be free and Premium which will give you a data archive and a more in depth level of use. If i'm going to pay I'd like to be able to manipulate the data.

    Interesting O's from folk today, looks like the SW did well, very rare I do better than most on here, as I'm with Andy ...... well, half an Andy with 6.8kWh which I think is 1.25Os - but Flash (the feral feline - [STRIKE]captured[/STRIKE] rescued last Spring) has finally braved the computer desk and is curled up on the calculator next to my keyboard. He's built like a dump truck and I'm not sticking my hand under his backside whilst he's a little nervous! :naughty:

    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.

    Is that a SW thing too? I've got a "Flash" (who's currently disconnecting the DVD player from the TV by sinking his razor like teeth into the HDMI cable) and a "Ninja" who's a stealthy little !!!!!! that magically appears under your feet.
