All time record!

#1

Post by Stinsy »

I know this is small potatoes compared to you better-endowed chaps, and this is my first summer with the bigger array, but yesterday I generated 27.5kWh which is a best ever for me. I have no-doubt that there is more to come seeing as my main array "only" generated 23.7kWh and the previous record of 25.7kWh on 31st May 2020 was with the main array only.
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

Well done, every bit extra helps, everything being equal you should be looking to get nearly 33kWh with both arrays compared with your previous best.

So the big thirty's coming but probably next year now, the yield records tend to go in May or very early June when its cooler on sunny days. :twisted:

Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated

105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

It's easy to get PV Size Envy - but the main thing is that all solar is good solar.

Yes! Installing at my fiance's gaff.

Supply for the solar thermal and some reserve in case of any outage...
