Daily pv production

Finally broke 45kwh today after few 44.9kwh days

Think that's my 7.92kwp south facing system maxed out with 5kw inverter.

highest here too 86kwh of which 33.52 was exported

The legendary March/April 22…would push it…we nearly had 2 weeks of this back then. But yeah potentially 4-5 days of cloudless skies is exceptional.

Here is end of March 22 and first few day of April, it dipped for 3 days and then we got another 3 perfect days on the 7th 8th and 9th April 22 as well

I got more energy in March 22 and April that I did in June that year…

Was going to post this in the "random Renewable thread", but it seems to have disappeared. LOL
This is the next best thing I guess since it's "daily production" based.

Suspect April will break this precentage they set in March.

My best since install of 7.2 kWp has been 45kWh last summer. South facing 35deg roof, South Tipp I can only recall having one perfect cloudless day in that time, have had 5 in the last week and hitting 42kWh each of those. Nearly every time we get sun like this in summer there's a haze builds up, not sure why that's not happening now?

Not a bad few days, it will fairly drop next week though !!

Comparing against this time last year, April has been much better for solar.

But, can anyone explain this:
My system is about 3.4kWp, this time last year I was seeing it hit that peak (and getting over 3kW during the best part of the day) albeit with less consistency because clouds:

This year, with no clouds all week, I'm not seeing anything higher than 2.8kW (it's been like this all week):

Obviously that a nice curve, but is there something that can explain why the whole curve is lower throughout the day and not hitting the peak of 3.4kW?
The sky is perfectly clear (not slight mists or fine clouds), could the panels be getting too hot and therefore losing efficiency? Are the panels dirty so are under producing (I haven't been able to get up to have a look)?
Thoughts?

The hotter the panels get the less they produce. In your first screenshot you have a load of dips where it got cloudy. That gave the panels a chance to cool down so when the sun came back out the panels were working more efficiently.

Good explanation of it here -

Gotta fix those export figures, been doing 60-70kwh export almost every day this month 🤣

just 30kwh produced today

Sun for an hour in the morning,full then and sun back about 6pm this evening

poor few days here but back up to speed today

80.8kwh of which 9.92 was exported

Very bad few days in Cork city as well. Today though is fab

hmmm, what's going on there in the 1st bitmap. If I read that chart correctly, your solar output jumped to 5kw at 9pm (from 0w) and you started to charge your battery? Or is green the solar output? Which I guess would make sense. No labels makes it hard to say for sure, but then you were charging your battery? It's a bit confusing.
(just curious)

Yup big day incoming will finally be topping 20kWh and not by a small margin

Not the best day of the year for me but a good one. And pushes me over 400kwh for the month. If I get the same tomorrow I'll end up around 25kwh more than last April.
