I finished my project over the Xmas break, so you can add my 3.2kWp of PV to the list :)

Currently generating a massive 50W!

I have had that GIF for months, patiently waiting for the moment you finally installed them. :mrgreen:

And I reckon when Ripple project 3 gets going we will be knocking close to that mythical 1GWh door of annual generation, who'd have thought that. :shock:
Add the generation I now look after and we could be there, if only I owned it :roll: :lol:

Miserable day today but here’s one inverter…

I'm sure you've logged me already, but I just checked 2022's solar generation at: 3,598 kWh (so about 3.6MWh)
from our 8,740Wp panels, early morning shading from a block of flats :cry:

But, I'm finding our FLA Hoppekke bank is only giving us around 15.6 kWh usable to 50% SOC with a round trip efficiency of around 78%, I need a sunny day to run the genny in the morning and finish with a good equalise.

Thanks for that, I knew your PV setup would not be ideal so I had your PV down as 5MWh but I've now updated it on your real life numbers. But don't worry we had a new member (106'th) today with a 4kW system so we are no worse off. :mrgreen:

I put battery capacities down as gross size and there are not many LA batteries left within the members but I think I will make a policy change and limit gross size of LA to 70% of the gross size to increase the accuracy like for like as they are lumped in together with lithium. From my own experience going down to 70% DOD with LA now and again seemed acceptable.

:D Well, in the summer we have more suns than we can use or store, so 5MWh would probably be achievable at our site, we just can't give it back to the grid because we're not allowed (a boat), and we don't yet have a grid connection anyway.

Having just installed a tidy Pylontech / Victron install in another houseboat, I'm a bit jealous compared to our own system, just losing 20% in round trip for FLA vs LiPo makes me realise more why us FLA'ers are a dying breed!
