53.88kW and still generating !

But only 69W so I guess you beat me today. :D

And we had a dead heat on WT1 as its out of action or no wind. ;)

Final reading with 1Watt incoming from Victron and solaredge in night mode. is 54.5kWh. I am gobsmacked at that. String 3 HAS to go up top. I reckon we might see 60kWh days once I've done that and made a soil pipe adjustment up top. Nice one on the GF deadheat! :D

Got a more standard Summer day here today (overcast), swmbo was up at 1/4 to 7 making chilli & ironing. I am throwing the entire remaining contents of the home battery into the ev before she heads out at 09.30. I'll then be on the solar powertools all day. Might pop up and measure the top roof for panel positioning of the groundmount string and get the metalwork ordered. That melted mc4 find and new panel string position is a game changer for us. 8-)

Went to bed at ten to ten last night and the panels were still putting out 43W which was amazing given the sun was very low behind Holyhead. Another blue sky day here and forecast temperatures of 24deg C.

Is it too late in the year for a new PB for you Moxi?

I have been up on the roof and measured up and I can sneak the 3 groundmount panel in on a line in portrait below the new string 5 with a little shuffling of string 5. They will be two staggered lines but they are on such a flat pitch it doesn't matter, not that it did anyway! Will have to cut the soil vent pipe down but i'll just get some s/s finemesh and s/s hoseclip it in place. It will be under a panel anyway so aesthetics don't matter (plus i've got the hoseclips from WBS2 install).

Managed to run the home stack down to 15% before SWMBO departure, a wash cycle is on but other than what the hybrid inverter sends to the grid to be caught by the solar I boost its all power to the home stack, I am interested to see what sort of time it takes?

09.30hrs 15% SOC

Order is in £130, for the K2 gear to make the ground mount string a roof mount string. This of course opens the door for ground mount two... In all honesty I don't think we will need it. Eh Nowty? :lol:

10.30 SOC 25%, continues to be overcast, not burning off fully. 3.2kWh incoming, washing machine still running. This is looking good!

I'm saying nothing. ;)

It seems I don't need to suggest anything to you anymore. :lol:

HI JB,

I will have to go over the figures as I may well have already hit a PB for the main array whilst on holiday ? but sadly my mum passed away last week unexpectedly after a very short illness and I'm just working though getting her estate sorted and coming to terms with things, so looking over the last months figures has had to take a back seat for a few weeks.

On the upside my electrician is here today to run power to the battery shed so once thats done and assuming I can fit the two CT clamps (including extension wires for them) I may be running the batteries in August ? Its been a long time coming but with the new baby and everything else spare time as been scarce.

Been loving the threads and topics on the forum though, there has been times where its quite literally kept me sane - so a big shout out to one and all for that.
