Might be of some use to people such as the OP who are only getting up and running, don't have a full months data to post but are keen as mustard to compare their output to check if it is in the range for a particular day?

Maybe if the thread was renamed to include the date in the title and people could choose to post/read or not.

After all that 5.6 KW E 4.2 / W 1.4 only up since Tuesday.

29.9 kwh today and may make 30 kwh by sunset

6.2kwp.

2.8 south facing, 3.4 west.

I was out all evening though so exported 18 of it. Disgusted, lol.

DeclanD54

Nice!
I wanted some on rear but was advised not to.

Getting installed shortly and was hoping to keep an eye on this thread daily to see system sizes and outputs to compare. Hopefully a few might keep it updated including the larger outputs from the last few sunny days

3.7kwp system, SW facing in Connaught.

Generation for the last week or so:

07/08 - 24.2kwh
08/08 - 26kwh (highest daily figure since system went in)
09/08 - 21.7kwh
10/08 - 10.8kwh
11/08 - 14.7kwh
12/08 - 19.6kwh
13/08 - 11.8kwh

Our lowest daily figure since we got the system was back on the 24th of July at only 3.6kwh just to give you an idea of the other end of things.

DeclanD54

08/08 22kwh

09/08 10.4kwh

10/08 5.6kwh

11/08 5.5kwh

12/08 16.3kwh

13/08 7.1kwh

On 4.4kw system

DrPhilG

6.2kWp, (2.8 south, 3.4 west) in Donegal

01/08 - 16.6 kWh
02/08 - 25.3 kWh
03/08 - 18.4 kWh
04/08 - 5.3 kWh
05/08 - 18.1 kWh
06/08 - 19.7 kWh
07/08 - 25.2 kWh
08/08 - 35.8 kWh
09/08 - 23.2 kWh
10/08 - 21.5 kWh
11/08 - 24.7 kWh
12/08 - 29.3 kWh
13/08 - 24.8 kWh

Average for the month so far, 22.1kWh per day which is 2.2kWh ahead of the predictions I based my payback calculations on.

The one crappy day was not only lashing rain, but also the system was down for a few hours due to work on the house.

On target to break the record today, currently at 32.9kWh and still drawing 2.7kw.

DeclanD54

Just goes to show how different the weather can be in Ireland.

4.1 Kwh in Wexford today. Low clouds and the sun never broke through. Dreary and overcast.

DrPhilG

11.4 for me in Donegal. Same deal, grey and miserable all day.

DrPhilG

Ouch. 7.2kWh today. Didn't even cover the daily load. Battery already empty.

DeclanD54

Yep mine made 3.8kwh yesterday and less today lol

E30M3

5.8 Kwh in Wexford today, (for completeness)

davpower

2.8kwh today, do i win?

rx8

Only 2.4 today and a lowly 1.7 yesterday ;( ;(

phester28

I have 5 panels east and 3 West.

I would have expected a higher peak in the sun today from the 2.4KWp 8 x 300Wp

Voltages are a little below MPPT at under 30V per panel.

DrPhilG

Slightly better day today, although I still won't crack 10kWh by close of play.

7.2kWh so far with a few hours of sunlight left.

And by sunlight, I mean completely clouded light!

You've hoovered up all the sunshine, DrPhilG there's none left for the rest of us poor people. Give some back ya big solar bully ðŸ˜€

DeclanD54

Have any you gone through the grant seai?
If so any issues getting the payment.

TheWonderLlama

There must be something wrong with my monitoring software. Its saying we generated 14.3kWh today. 4.2kw system facing south in Limerick.

DeclanD54

Maybe not. The weather is so different in the country, the only we can compare is a clear non cloud for us all!
I havent had one since my system is up and running.

DrPhilG

Depends what it was like. I was getting 25+ last week on days when others reported 7 or 8. But it was scorching up here.

I expected similar to yesterday's 7.4 and currently at 8.6.
