Sunny now 4kW coming in, but a bit late to save the day.

Weather up here has not been great either but better than down south by the look of it, had 2kW coming in at 13:00hrs and up to 6.3kW 1/2hr later giving 8.1kWh for the day (6.7kWh yesterday). :)

We ended up generating just over 6kWh, enough to top the battery up a bit and offset the house baseload. Heck of a lot better than the 1.87kWh yesterday.

2.44kWh here, the low pitch array really does perform well in cloudy conditions.
Batch cooking has taken a toll on the batteries though, forecasting to be at 6% by the time it charges overnight.
The extra panels will be here on the 15th, but I will admit I am getting tempted to play with a DIY battery like Joeboy...
10x 405W JA Solar panels (4.05kWp) @ 5 degrees
3x 405W Longi panels (1.22kWp) @ 90 degrees
16.5kWh DIY LifePo4 battery
Solis inverter/charger
0.6kW Ripple WT
64kWh Kia E-Niro

There may be trouble ahead at Nowty Towers if we have to play each other. :?

There are times when I am grateful for having been born with zero interest in football.

Bad enough having to deal with the cultural and dietary clashes between Thai Buddhism and Christianity . . .
