    I saw no sun but the panels managed to find just a little 2240/3780 = 0.59 O's. I'm now going fail PVGIS target.

    I did not see the sun but I did notice the sky was blue looking out of the window at work.

    I'll have a poke around the meter cupboard when it's light tomorrow as that's where all 3 clamps are.

    edit - actually, one of the clamps is unrelated as it's for the diverter.

    Think you may have spotted your own problem. Wattson transmitter cables should be connected correctly. Connecting one to your diverter may be causing your 20 -30 W's generation figure during the night, as this may be the standby usage of your UFH. Just a guess until I see exactly how the transmitter is connected....coffee.gif

    A massive 0.285 O's on my SSW today, c'mon guys and gals...stop hogging the sun and take some of the boatloads of snow we've got forecast too.
    Fridays forecast looks cracking for sun, just hope my panels get the chance to see itsmiley-sad056.gif


    ps, need 2kWh on SSW to make PVGIS for this month, not bad after the crappy weather we've endured here!!!

    Are you really suggesting some of us aren't submitting "TGR's" just because we are taking readings from our inverters, rather than our less accessible meters? I've already proven an inaccuracy of less than 0.5%.

    I'll try and get some pictures later, but I can say for certain the clamps are not incorrectly installed. The diverter clamp is the first clamp on the incoming main and there is no standby power consumption for the UFH as it's switched through a relay - so either on or off. The diverter clamp, unlike the wattson is a bi-directional clamp, i.e it can detect the direction of current flow.

    I'm at Hospital again today, so if I get back before dark and it's not raining then I'll go out and take pictures.

    Looks like we'll be escaping the snow bullet again this time around. It may fall out the sky, but it's unlikely to settle given how mild it is.
