I imagine that we will end up with a scrollable screen showing all 8 WT's at KH too? We can have virtual bets on which turbine will perform best on a specific day! :ugeek:

An excellent addition to the tools as is the generation data graph for easy access to time specific totals.

Ecogeorge I don't see it as deliberate secrecy, a small toolset for invested owners maybe the thought behind it? 🤔

I could easy see a day when they'd use the info to promote take up on further windfarms?

Yes I really did time it over a minute with a stopwatch and counted the rotations. :ugeek:
:lol: :lol: 8-) Been watching it slow down this morning from my bed in Edinburgh. See you virtually for the 29th big day! :twisted:

I've just realised you can scroll backwards to view historic data in the graph below. :mrgreen:
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 27MWh generated
6 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

I was messing about with it yesterday. An excellent intuitive and swift way to see data. I now have a new top shortcut on my phone faves. :D

Had a look past Kirk Hill yesterday, plenty of activities going on in the distance. The road for the construction traffic is a bit challenging and the road for the turbine parts doesn't look like it will be a lot easier either.

Exciting times for Ripple advocates presently, what with news of positive progress from Kirkhill plus GF is now generating it's best monthly return since since insatallation. ;)
