Daily pv production

First day generating in North county Dublin east west 7kw system..

Welcome to the micro-gen community :) And you know you can expect very small output from now and that will drop as days get darker. I’m only live 3.5 months but I’m still delighted with anything produced. And even a few kWhs a day is all helping on the bills. Wait until you see the numbers once spring kicks in. Enjoy!

That's pretty good. For comparison, D16 here with 5.3Kwp split exactly (E/W) I generated 1.3kwhr, so your smashing it.

(I'm also about 3Km from the Dublin mountains which can depending on the wind direction create some localized clouds in the area e.g.)

Dublin/Wicklow mountains tend to create their own micro-climate. Also, get used to ....

It's your friend :-)

Yeah, it's really Nov, Dec and Jan which are the bad ones. Feb sees a pick up or sure, albeit with it only having 28 days on a month-by-month basis it doesn't rate much more than jan. March last year was Stellar.

10kwh today from my 4kw system. Most steady day of production which I have had since system was installed early this month.

I fitted two optimasers to address the shading from the chimeney but cant tell if the shading does affect production at all......early days to tell.

0.1kWh yesterday.

As a result of stupid crappy bureaucracy nonsense. Planned outage from 900-1730 so I got basically no generation thanks to stupid fireman switches turning off my panels. I also had to run my office etc on two 13a sockets instead of having the lights and sockets circuits wired to the EPS outlet.

Thanks SEAI for your grant but f**k you for your stupidity.

Yes, I checked the powercheck map and there were at least 10 planned outages in the lower half of the country yesterday. I wonder was it to do with the recent storms and having to make safe any emergency/temporary repairs.

My issue isnt with the work or the outages, but rather with the nonsense of having to wire up some 12v circuits running and charging from my 48v battery and 240v EPS 2*13a sockets - instead of being able to flip a breaker switch and run the house off the EPS. Our base load is 400-900w so we could easily cover this on the 5kW peak 3kW continuous EPS rating on my Solis inverter. The only reason this is not possible is due to SEAI grant. I wish I wasnt going for the grant, probably would have gotten a cheaper isntall and done the way I wanted!

As soon as the grant hits your suppliers account get them out to bypass it all or if you can yourself. I'm just waiting on my supplier to have a job nearby to do mine and a couple of other bits. I always have 3-5 power cuts between now and February.

I will be pulling the fireman switches out as well to charge battery and cover base load when generating as well. My northern supplier said it's no problem and they are only used down south.

5.37kw h today but tomorrow doesn't look great at all..

If there's a battery attached that'll keep it going, at least it does on my setup. currently generating 126 watts here which isn't bad considering all I can see is rain.

Funny how different parts of the country can be so far apart in terms of production. Wasn't promised great here but ended up with just over 23kwh
