33.6 kWh produced
21.9 kWh exported
Dishwasher was run twice, washing machine at least once and oven was going full tilt for about 3 hours...all of which reduced export significantly today. Still managed to generate a credit mind you.
Decent day for PV between the showers. East Cork.
17.8kwh produced with 13.5kwh exported.
How are you peaking at over 9kW on a 5kW inverter?
I have microinverters connected directly to the 5kw Sunsynk.
Yes, but it is still be limited by the 5kW main inverter. You can't shove over 9kW's through an inverter than can only handle 6.5kW's of input power, max. The two graphs are contradicting each other. The first one is giving just over 6kW's peak which I assume is from the 5kW main inverter, the other shows over 9. The only way this could be explained, is that some of microinverter enabled panels are connected directly to the grid, not the inverter.
The first graph is kwh not kw.
Yes, it's showing 6.2kW for an hour, which is still 6.2kW peak. BTW the second graph is showing generation over time also, so it's kWh, it just doesn't show the h.
No it's not.
Peak power is not the same as energy produced.
Yes it is, the second graph is also over time, so it's kWh also. If I generate 6kW for an hour, how many kWh's have I generated?
What if I produce 6kw for half an hour and 0kw for half an hour. How many kwh have I produced?
The second graph is kw.
Never said it was.
"Yes, it's showing 6.2kW for an hour, which is still 6.2kW peak. BTW the second graph is showing generation over time also, so it's kWh, it just doesn't show the h."
👆
3kWh's. Both graphs are showing over time, they are both in kWh, one just left out the h. The Top graph is also splitting it into hour intervals, the inverter can only handle 6.2, therefore in full sun, the most you can get is 6.2kW per hour, so 6.2kW peak, which is required to get 6.2kWh.
There also another issue, microinverters convert DC to AC, you can't use them with a string inverter like the 5kW SunSynk you have, it only accepts DC on the input. Did you mean optimizers?
That's just proving you don't know what's going on….6.2 peak for an hour is what's required to produce 6.2kWh's Why don't you show the math of how 6.2kWh's over an hours time frame can be achieved in any other way on an inverter system that can only handle 6.5kW max.
The second graph is kw. Peak power which is different to energy. W
What are kilowatts over time measured as? What being shown at the bottom of the second graph? The second graph is also giving you kilowatts over time. I'm simply pointing out that your graphs are contradicting each other. If an installer set this up, I'd be contacting them. Finally, how is a system rated for 6.5kW peak, producing peaks of over 9kW's shown in the second graph?
Amazing how somone can be so confident and arrogant, all while being so wrong. I know exactly what my system is doing.
How does a system rated at 6.5kW peak, produce peaks of over 9kW as shown in the second graph? You're taking this very personally, did you set this up yourself?
I've already explained to you how it's possible but you refuse to acknowledge it for some strange reason. Read back all I've posted. Slowly.
Except your explanation doesn't make sense. How can a system rated to produce 6.5kWs maximum peak input from the solar array, produce 6.2 kW hours, in the space of an hour, in any other way than it peaked out at 6.2 kWs, and did so for an hour?
Did you take the time to read everything I said again? I've explained it to you and all you do is come back and tell me I'm wrong and I don't understand my system, I'm not taking it personally, I'm frustrated.
No you didn't. It's rated at 6.5 kW max. From the second graph you were regularly above 9kW for the hour at noon. The average for the hour should be at least 8kWh, you only got 6.2kWh. Explain.
A system that produces 6.2kwh doesn't have to produce 6.2kw for an hour. It could produce 2kw for a time, then 7kw and so on. Essentially averaging out at 6.2kwh. You saying this "Yes, it's showing 6.2kW for an hour, which is still 6.2kW peak" is just a misunderstanding of how it works on your part. 6.2kwh is not the same as 6.2kw peak.
Look at the graph again, I was also often below 2kw over that time too.
It can't produce 7kW, it's max is 6.5kW. The most it could ever produce is 6.5kW's per hour on its best day, no losses. So, just 6.5kWhs per hour.
Well then tell the program which produced the second graph to show it in 'kWh's.' 😉 We'll soon see who's right.
And again, microinverters convert DC to AC, you can't use them with a string inverter like the 5kW SunSynk you have, it only accepts DC on the input. Did you mean optimizers?
It can because you can connect microinverters directly to a Sunsynk.
I asked you about this before, you said the full 10.75kWp wasn't connected to the inverter. So if you are actually putting out over 9kWs and your inverter is only rated for 6.5kWh's, you're going to have a serious problem in about a month.
