491 kWh on my 6.1kWp system in Cork for March 2024.
Just did a comparison between the last few years and to my surprise up until March, I was ahead of 2022 and 2023, although this early on in the year a few good days makes a big difference. That saying Im above 2023 but behind 2022. But as everyone rememebers March 2022 was exceptional.
6.1kWp south facing, South of Cork City

684kWh produced for the month. Absolutely delighted with the systems performance with just shy of €110 made from FIT. The bill for the month is -€41.
I reckon if I can rack up the credits from FIT I might not have to pay a bill until December or with a fair wind possibly February.

All things considered … a solid April.
Beat last years and PVGIS by a few percent - that's always nothing to complain about :-)
Tomorrow should also get May off to a good start, least I'm seeing decent weather for Dublin area anyway.

I'm struggling to see April as a good month compared to previous. Maybe my first two years were just super. The last week really helped.
Hopefully not the normal. Overall figures from HA
The summed hourly buy / use mix is as it should be from now to September
And in real money, not as good as those with large arrays, but still positive for me 😁
With 94.1% at the EV rate

I decided to set my 5kW battery to discharge 12.30 until 4.30 today (it normally is charged 2-5am, and topped up with PV during the day). Its connected to a Solis 5kW hybrid inverter with 19x ~410w panels, split SE(6)/SW(3)/NE(10).
to my surprise, the PV panels began to produce much more than the normal 5kw I've been accustomed to seeing (snapshot below shows 6.798kW, I have other data of it reaching 7.345kW)
Is the Solis 5kw hybrid inverter OK with dealing with this extra from the PV panels? the image shows the Export + house load of 2.364 + 2.716 = 5.08 kW AC - which is the inverter AC limit, meaning 1.7kw was being diverted to the battery.
Is there an upper limit that the Solis can handle in this setup? eg if it was sunny enough, and all panels were covered in sunlight, could the full PV capacity (~7.7kW) be handled by the inverter for a long period of time?
