Longest day generation times

#1

Post by richbee »

I looked at exactly what time my solar generation started and stopped over the weekend of the longest day.
It started with 1W at 02:45, and continued until it petered out going back to 0W at 23:10.
I know 1W isn't going to a great deal of anything, but love the fact that at this time of year there is only about 3.5 hours without any solar PV :lol:
Solar PV since July '22:
5.6kWp east/west facing
3.6kW Sunsynk hybrid inverter
2x 5.12kWh Sunsynk batteries
1.6kWp Hoymiles East/West facing PV on the man cave
Ripple DW 2kW
Ripple WB 200W

Maybe my inverter calibration / resolution is slightly off.
If I look at when it hits double figures - 10W - it changes to 04:35 / 21:45, so more in line with other northeners!
