Just got round to looking at mine:
Friday PV - 79kWh WT - 22.79kWh = 101.79kWh
Saturday PV 82.9kWh WT - 24.91kWh = 107.89kWh.
Happy days.
3.87kWp PV
10.24kWp PV SolarEdge system
Tesla Powerwall 2
100 x 47mm Navitron tubes (still being installed!) Now likely to be removed for more PV.
MK2 PV router DHW diverter
Morso 5kW WBS

but is there? I can see "my" generation, but nowhere is there an aggregate output figure - that I can find anyway. I would have thought that - at least on the non-members site - it would have been worth advertising the k (M?)Whr credited to all members to date.
Congleton Hydro (https://www.congletonhydro.co.uk/congle ... ter-april/) do this:

Ripple have said they are going to add some more info to the dashboard along the lines of aggregate generation / savings in about a weeks time. But I don't know if they are going to have a public view from their main webpage. Remember the turbine is not owned by ripple but by a separate Co-operative company.

They sent this to all members of WT1 the other day, so maybe something like this will be added. Notice the amount of leccy generated (bottom left) is for the whole turbine, not just for the ripple members as we only own about half of it.

That is a nice informative web page, thanks. Let's hope Ripple manage something like it.
