Daily pv production

Today looks pretty decent, but tomorrow if the forecast holds could be a nice record setter for Dublin.

Longest day of the year to boot. Should be blue skies all day, though I've actually had better production on cool days with a (small) amount of cloud. Suspect the panels being cooler helps. I guess it's a trade off between temp and solar irradiance

Ohh the race is on! :-)

The green line is today and the red bars last year. It's perhaps 50-100watts more at the same time slice during the day than my previous all time high (19/6/25)

Keeping an eye on

Cloud radar United Kingdom - High resolution satellite images | SAT24

and hoping no clouds form inland as sometimes happens.

Aside: Nice to see very little panel degradation in 12 months.

My experience over the last nearly 5 years is that in the middle of summer with the heat is a peak that you won't break and you will find it very early on.

I've never broke 45kWh on my 6.1kWp system but in really May this year when we had that really cold northern breeze I was pushing maybe to over 46-47kWh but cloud cover came in.... My theoretical Max I reckon is about another 2-3 kWh but everything has to align and I've not got that yet in 5 years.

Hot sunny clear day while good you will not max out you peak production on days like this. May with the colder weather is where it's at.

72.9Kwh produced today from my 14.9Kwh system in Arklow

Yeah, it was the usual familiar story that localized clouds formed inland and the afternoon wasn't great.

Got a total of 49.4Kwh when I add in the few panels on the shed. It's rare that I break 50kwh, maybe 2-3 times a year with all time high of 52kwh as I recall.
