Just for 2 months till 12th August last year was €167 before the panels and -€162 this year

Last winter when we were getting the government "cost of living" expenses of €450, it meant that I built up a fairly large credit on my electricity account with Energia. They never paid me a cheque, but rather eventually I used the credit over time. I wish there was a way to move that into my Gas bill, but alas no.

I reckon the only way they'll pay you is if you leave.

Mailed them today this is what they came back with:

Thanks for clarifying, it’s just a case of you contacting our Customer Care team after any Electric bills where there is a credit  to request a refund of, or you can have it transferred to another account, such as your Gas. It’s up to yourself really or you can just leave it sitting and it would be used by the next upcoming bill.

So I've mailed the CC team see what they come back with next week.

It's functioning as it should. I too have a 7.9kWp setup albeit with no battery. Based in Waterford.

My daily average over those 4 days is 20kWh versus your daily average of 24kWh.

It's a game changer, delighted to have installed it.

It's myenergi. In my case the zappi car charger has a CT clamp reading the flow of power from the main incoming/outgoing cable and a second separate CT is connected to Myenergi Harvi in the distribution board reading what's coming from the shed where the inverter is.

Harvi and zappi are connected to the house WiFi and that's how Myenergi collates the info to present the data on their app.

Cork - South facing 7.9 KW system, how does this look?

20-8 30.2 kwh

Sunny end to summer delivers European solar records – pv magazine International (pv-magazine.com)

I'm currently at 99.4% of PVGIS forecast for the month, and it's only the 26th, so I reckon i'll be in the 110-15% range of PVGIS once the month ends.

Hi, may be someone got an answer, I’ve have the solar panels installed since late July, peak production in a sunny day is 5.42-5.47 KWH

Suddenly the max I’m getting is 4.7-4.8 for 2 days now, any idea if something went wrong or just today Saturday 31/08 not as sunny??

17 panels x430

Thanks in advance

7.9 KW 18 x 440 Bifical system since Aug 13th - so 17 days figures

484KW in 17 days

Best day 30th = 39.6 KWh

Worst Day 21st = 9.8KWh

very happy!
