25.1 in January 😍
Great yield, that's a good day in the summer for me. Is that with the Sunsynk 5KW inverter?
19.5kwh from 6.9 kWp South facing today. Nice.
Great day of generation for January 🌞
I have a 6kW inverter so I'd need to add a 5kw inverter. Export limiter 6kW ( I'm sure ESBN smart meters will be detecting anybody who exceeds limit)
I'm think I'd be getting huge FIT in the shoulder season, April, May, Sept. Oct etc.
And on wet summer days it would still be picking it out.
You could also fill an EV during the day in summer, as you would have potentially 11kW from PV and 6 from batteries.
Lots of possibilities with it really.
I DIY'ed phase 1. So I could get the grant for Phase 2 I suppose. It would down to pricing at the time. It's only an embryo of an idea at the moment though. Other projects being planned as well elsewhere.
7.59kWh today....3 good days in a row, hopefully few more good days to come!!
Generally that kind of expansion is not worth it for winter consumption in isolation. Couple of panels optimised for south with a nice angle, yeah - but 8Kwp is a lot. You would be exporting A TON in summer. Granted with FIT that's not a huge concern anymore, but you'd most likely be in taxable space with 10-11 kwp of panels. Also, whats your inverter. 5kw? Or would you be going with a seperate inverter?
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just making sure your aware of the downside. If I had my way, I'd have 20-30Kwp in panels , but not likely to happen in a semi detached in south Dublin.
Have you had yours in summer yet?
Nice, SE SW split gives a nice range from morning to evening.
Nice, funny you should say that as I've another 6.3kwp booked to be installed on my roof at the end of the month. 40 degree angle too, so should really help. Would you diy the ground mount?
I'm considering another 8kW at some point, ground mounted, no shading and a better winter angle.
That would leave me with very little import even in winter. 10kw batteries charged each night
True, I'm the same, very low angle on mine too, but I diyed so can't complain. Will be another two or three weeks before I get anything decent.
Yeah I've shading too, but sure each day it will be less of an issue. My panels are at a low angle as well so double fail.
As the sun sets and my wattage is almost back to zero I’m just about 18kwh for the day.
7.4 system SE SW split in cork.
6.84kW panels, facing south.
Done just 5.9kWh the first three days of the month, 8 & 9.5 the last two days.
Edit: 13.9kWh today, almost a perfect curve.
The weather makes such a difference.
7.2kWh . Galway, 6kW array SE/SW
18.8 kWh from a 8.8 south facing - Kildare area 🙂
I would be, 2.7kwh in Cork even though the sun was shining all day. Shadings a biatch.
Susie- Wow, you're getting some serious numbers, that's class.
7.02 kWh today, a little down on yesterday but early January so I have to be happy
6.2 today and 7.8 yesterday are my best two days in a row since install in mid November. Comparing that to not even 3kw in the first three days of the month combined.
4.3Kw system, south facing.
That’s brilliant, thanks a million for taking the time to produce that. I’m still learning the system.
it’s a 5.5kW Solis Hybrid inverter, shading isn’t an issue, but definitely the evening sun is too low for half the panels to have any effect.
With the way that the sun angles are changing, I'd reckon there's a good chance you might see double figures possibly at the end of Jan, or very early in Feb. I also have an E/W split (6.5Kwp) and I took my 2022 figures and extrapolated out to what I would get if I had a 8Kwp system (what you have). Added a 10pt moving average which is the line in yellow and here's what you can expect.
Naturally it's a bit rough/ready. Some factors like shading, inverter efficiency, temperatures of panels, do you have 5kw or 6kw inverter (for the 8Kwp of panels), but it should be a reasonable approximation of what you can expect your daily average to be month on month for the year.
planned power outage today so missed the best day since my install
20.9Kwh today 8.3kw array south facing
5.8kW today, represents a joint best day for me since system went live on 5th Dec!! It’ll be a milestone just to see double figures produced, but good to see the battery and system managed the house demand until 5pm.
8kW E/W split, Co. Galway.
And today beats yesterday!
17.3Kwh yesterday, looking forward to a full year of production !
7.25kWh today. Best day since early December
Best day this year.
6.8kWh from 3.8kW.
5.3kWh, from 8kW E/W Galway.
