Solar PV Performance Thread - Post your monthly output

Is Solis not includes battery charging from the grid as generation?

4kwp south east, 3kwp north west

I also see that the figures don't add up.

How does one isolate the PV generation figure from the 472Kwh below.

I know it's a lot more than 472 - 441, but it's deffo not the 472 figure

7kwp S facing W Dublin

Pretty poor PV due to 4kwp shaded until Feb 😭 but still 18kwh more than last year, batteries to the rescue.

That 472 figure is your PV total, that graph only deals with where the pv power went, 93% to the battery and 7% exported. Oddly none consumed?

The same graph matches up with PV production on my app, the 205kWh matches up with the previous pic I just posted, 115 consumed directly, 84 to battery and 6 exported. Edit: reported grid import matches my meter, the only way my figures add up is to include the 41kWh difference in battery charging/ discharging as coming from the grid.

I have 41kWh of grid charging to my battery as part of my grid imports.

Happy New Year fellow Solar folk.

Figures for the month of December with a 4Kw system on an even East : West split based in South Dublin. No battery.

• Total generated: 57.64 kWh
• Highest day:  16th 3.0 kWh
• Lowest day: 4th 0.78 kWh 

Slim pickings again but I detect the first “benefit” insofar as my monthly (I pay an even amount each month) electricity bill has been dropped by €30 😀

Been awhile since i did one of these. Dublin 16 (5.3Kwp split exactly E/W 1.5Kwp and 3.8Kwp)

Most of the savings (73%) coming from the battery in December. Output from the panels is as follows.

You can clearly see the snow on the panels from the 9th -> 13th. Last year was 58.5kwhr so it would have been a decent month barring the snow. So the overall efficiency per 1kwp for the month was 10.89Kwhr/1Kwp

Interestingly the shed installation I have (2.3kwp facing due south) did 31.25Kwhr for the month giving an production of 13.58Kwhr/1kwp. The shed gets a bit shaded with houses in the winter with the low sun angles. In nov the shed nearly matched the main instllation on the house even though it has only 50% of the panels.

Overall "savings" calculated at about €1350 since install in Oct'21. On track for about a 8 year payback. Course the term "savings" is a loose term and dependent on a lot of factors such as how you use electricity. Also, I don't include "FIT" in my calcs....nor the few crypto sheckles I get when generating heat in the mining rigs.

The Solis cloud app does separate data better than the Solis Home app

You can get the correct gen from a report on solis cloud app. I agree though it's annoying they don't report it on the main graph without battery... I'd like both!

I wonder could we open a ticket... They must know this already

268 kWh for Dec 22 on my 6.1 kWp system here in Cork

The fist half of the month was quite good and had a 4 days over 20 kWh..clear skies all day could not get better.

Used 61% as well.

Gotta love 0.6% usage on day rate 😁 that's mightily impressive and all with a 10 kWh battery.... Cant remember to do have an EV as well? just comparing your total monthly kWh (gas and elec) to mine. I did about 1500 kWh as well in Dec if you exclude the EV.

🙈 Jeeze!!! I put 712 kWh into my Zappi on top of the 1500 kWh in general house usage....you must be only tipping around in your EV

In total I consumed 2,258kWh electricity in my gaff for December (but I'm all electric don't even have a stove or fire place)

Where in the app does solis separate this data?

I cant find it myself.

November stats for me.

4wkp SSE in West Meath.

Total generation: 105wkh

I exported a bit due to not having battery till middle of this month. Pretty happy with the self consumption %.

What am I doing wrong?

It still shows me the battery charging as generation.

Solar generated 2kwh today.

Where are you seeing the generation as 2kWh?

Off the inverter?

42kWh export despite a 5kWh battery and eddi... I see others with just a few kWh exported this month. Ticket with solis open 2 months now and it isn't even the first one. There's probably roughly the same or slightly more unnecessary import also. 😞

Wishing you all health and happiness for 2023.

2nd December over and a jump of over 50% production compared to the same month last year. Numerous days in double digits in comparison to last Dec.

South Roscommon, 8.16Kwp, facing 210° at 35°, 9.6kWh battery

Total generation 261.6kWh (prediction at 202kWh)

Consumed 647.8kWh

Energy from Grid 388kWh

Energy to Grid 31kWh

To the Eddi 32.9kWh

To the Zappi 233.9kWh (doubling up on last month with more charging)

To the Battery 263kWh

From the Battery 236.3kWh

Best day 14th with 18.25kWh

Worst day 24th with 0.9kWh

Running about 89% self use

Energy exported would have generated €5.58 at Energia FIT rate if on a smart meter, we are D/N.

Try and pull the date from the various online monitors as they all seem to vary slightly in one figure or another.

December Stats

7.44kWp (4.03 south/3.41 west), 20kWh battery, Zappi & Eddi – Donegal

Generation – 78.7kWh (126% of estimate)

Export – 0.7kWh

Import – 946.4kWh

Best day – 17th, 6.8kWh

Worst day - 23rd, 0.1kWh

4.65 SE and SW (SW low angle and shading) North Dublin

Total Generated: 74.9kWh

Export: 3.65 kWh (probably due to me filling my battery to 100% at start of month have since dropped back to 95%)
