Not a particularly great day again, although interesting to see that a similar amount was generated as yesterday, but with a very different distribution throughout the day:

Power generated today: 3.535KW

Power generated so far: 97.413KW

Not a particularly great day:

Power generated today: 3.29KW

Power generated so far: 93.878KW

A generally poor day for pv electricity generation:

Power generated today: 1.678KW

Power generated so far: 90.588KW

Today was a mix of sun and cloud, as you can see from the peaks and troughs:

Power generated today: 5.352KW

Power generated so far: 88.91KW

Today was dull and drizzly and around midday the power generation dropped to 18 watts at one point just after it had really started to rain.  It did improve in the afternoon and was somewhat sunny:

I’ve sorted out the image resizing, so the above graph shouldn’t now be distorted like they were previously.  I’ll sort out the older posts when I have time.

 

Power generated today: 4.520KW

Power generated so far: 83.558KW

Saturday was a below average day.  There was some sun in the afternoon, but it wasn’t that great:

 

Looking back over the past two weeks (Saturday 20th August – Saturday 2nd September), the graph below

Power generated today: 3.935KW

Power generated so far: 79.038KW

Today was another great day for our solar system – we generated less than yesterday, but still more than enough to put it firmly in second place.  If only every day could be like the today and yesterday…

Comparing yesterday (blue) to today (orange) you can see that while today started generating earlier, it didn’t reach quite the same peak between 12:40-1:40pm and there was a big dip from around 4:40-5:40pm which probably explains this lower figure:

Power generated today: 8.364KW

Today was an amazing day for power generation – just over 9KW!   Apart from a few small dips it looks like it generated the best possible amount for this time of year and the graph is an almost perfect curve so hitting the peak level possible for that time at a lot of points: (Note that you can click on the picture above to see the undistorted graph).

 

Power generated today: 9.034KW

Power generated so far: 66.739KW

Today stated off dull, but improved later – although as you can see there were big jumps at around 3:30pm and 5:30pm, the rest was still cloudy:

I got my MCS certificate today, which I need to send to my electricity company to get paid for what I generate plus the electricity I have already been putting back onto the grid.  Already I think I’m up to £30 I’m owed.

 

Looking back at August there’s been a range of values across the days (remember that Friday 19th was only generating from 5pm so was actually quite a good day for solar energy):

So far I am pretty impressed how it’s going.  Dull, cloudy days are disappointing, but the sunny ones more than make up for them. 🙂

 

Power generated today: 4.396KW

Power generated so far: 57.705KW

Another grey day.  Not the worst day we’ve had, but definitely among them.

The graph below looks like it has a big peak, until you look to the left and see that the highest peak is 0.432KW, which has normally already been exceeded by 12 noon.  It does allow you to see the detail of the start and end of the day, which is usually too small to make out on the other graphs:

Power generated today: 1.980KW

Power generated so far: 53.309KW
