Daily pv production

Thanks for that, had suspected the salesman was using optimistic figures

2.1 today for me , 7.4Kw east /west ,Mayo

True - I only managed 1.1Kwh myself yesterday of a 6.5Kwp system. While I like E/W splits in general, they are shocking in the dead of winter - but you know 50 cents in my back pocket from a cloudy overcast day in Dublin is better than the alternative.

Still lads, we're nearly there!!! While Dec 22nd is the winter solstice (shortest day), today I think is the day where the evenings are starting to get later and later, mornings sadly are still getting later and later until early Jan. Sunset in Dublin today = 16:06

Good site to know when solar noon is in your neck of the woods = Sunrise and sunset times in Dublin (timeanddate.com)

Naturally you'll have to change your location as appropriate

Evenings are getting longer from today mate :-) ...... it's just that we are still losing more in the mornings than the gains we have in the evenings until Dec 21 so that's why the days are getting shorter until Dec 21st. Latest sunrise is actualy Jan2nd or something. When I was growing up, I always thought that dec 21 was the latest sunrise and earliest sunset (hence the shortest day), but nah, it's a bit more complicated than that.

All to do with the fact the earth is a spinning top, but it sort of "wobbles" around the rotational axis. Good article on wikipedia on it.

Equation of time - Wikipedia

In any case, back to the OP it's a nice bright sunshine day in Dublin , however, below in "red" is todays production against a "computed" maximum value in blue of the last 4 days. Basically the blue line is sort of a historical max over the last few days for that same time interval be it 11:05 or 14:15 etc.

Not even breaking a 1Kw.....kind of sad from a 6.5Kwp system in the sunshine. Them angles just don't work in winter. Sun is 13.6deg above horizon at noon here. :-(

Ive signed up to a Solcast account but seem to be incapable of interrogating the data to get the kind of information being reporting above. All I can see at present is a graph forecasting output by hour for the next day. Im a bit of a luddite but Is there a way to generate the above type information in the app or is it necessary to download data and generate charts externally?

My system is only just over a week commissioned, so my first tally of readings:

8kW system E/W split (10 E/ 9 W), Co Galway

5/12: 5.9kW

6/12: 0.8kW

7/12: 3.3kW

8/12: 2.2kW

9/12: 3.6kW

10/12: 2.6kW

11/12: 3.4kW

12/12: 1.9kW

13/12: 3.8kW

So nothing hectic, as expected, but I’m using the time to learn about my daily usage, battery charging etc. Roll on the spring/summer when hopefully the power generation has a big increase!

A nice return of 16kwh yesterday isn't bad for December but next few days not looking so good here

Will be lucky to see 0.5kw today

Thank you. More food for thought.
