Camelot Members Annual Green Electric Generation

[Mr Gus]

I honestly think it's a relevant part of the jigsaw info puzzle Nowty.

Hi Mr Gus,

I believe that nowty's figures for ON SITE generation stand as good data for our publication circumstances, as our book is all about real facts and figures and backed up by our Empirical evidence we have gained after 21 years.

We only publish real readings and NOT hypothetical investment opportunities readings. We do not publish estimated readings and savings by using a so called energy saving apparatus.

Why, you may say, well as the Mrs with all her PHD's and MBA's says you need methodical and calibrated data that is traceable and known.

So here at our Project we go from 'proof of principal', to our RE Generation meters that are all known and have serial numbers and have been calibrated within certain parameters, so we have back up evidence.

Yea!, so what. you may say. Well, we are sometimes up against the very slippery commercial middlemen in the so called RE world, but their first instinct is profit at any cost. And yes we have had issues in the past and succeeded, but fourtunetly we have good REAL engineer friends around to support our observations. So nowadays we have to be reasonably squeaky clean in what we publish.

Nowty's figures will be used as a observation status to actually what 47 members can actual produce each year, so getting a community or a Nation to produce enough energy is a feasible concept at a practical level, but sadly at a politically level its seen as heresy. But this particular book will keep well out of politics, and we will just publish real results and be damned.
And hopefully not prosecuted.

I understand, however, it would also show how once you start, you want to (plan to) continue, in terms of an additional placed elsewhere data metric.
ie incidental to the main, no harm there, we know just how "pick & choose" the data crunching industry can be, to me this one says, journey, path, rather than bish bosh done.

In the shed is different to install, everyone would understand that, especially as it would be another aspect of what's going on here on Camelot, & not necessarily elsewhere.

[ClockmanFRA]

Right you are Mr Gus.

I sent Nowty a PM, but have no idea where it went.?

Not showing that i sent it.?

I have 1,200W of additional PV enroute from Bimble. Hoping they will arrive tomorrow along with the rails. Could maybe get them on before heading of to France the following Monday.

I've updated your entry with a further 1MWh, so the latest scores on the doors of Onsite generation with 47 members is,

Annual Onsite Generation
PV - 239 MWh
Wind - 13 MWh
Hydro - 2 MWh
---------------------
Total - 254 MWh

Or a good quarter of a GWh.

Or around 60 tonnes of saved carbon at the average grid carbon intensity.

Or doing the work of over 21,000 trees.

3.87 kWp from 12 x 215w Sungrid SG-215M6 (Australian) fitted Feb 2011. 2 strings of 6
Annual output 3770 Kw
They are fitted on a 20 deg. sloping metal clad roof, yes they get too hot on occasions. I did try running a lawn sprinkler on them but the extra output didn't cover the running cost of our borehole pumps. They face SSW and are 5 miles north of Dartmoor, in fact they have a clear view of the moor.
Before they were fitted the costing were done re possible frame to elevate to the optimum angle but would not increase output enough to cover the extra cost plus the additional wind resistance would have caused serious problems.

With FIT from 2011 and the initial cost and a new inverter 2019 (£16734) they show a profit of £4336 up to May 2022. That does not allow for the "free" electricity we've used.

We were pushed into solar by our accountant who said if needs be borrow the money, loans were cheap then, because the returns would cover the loan plus and he has been proven correct.

I am currently about to install battries.

Your already on the secret list and I put you down for 3750 kWh, not bad guess eh ?

If, you've got any info in your sig or you obviously gave away how much PV you have, your probably on it already even if you don't know your on it.

I'll add the extra 20kWh for you to my records.

Still only got info on 50 members out of 182 members, there must be more out there.

PM me if you don't want to publicly declare.

EDIT - Loving the water sprinkler generation boost.
