Got an extra 16W by clearing that little patch of persistent snow. The set up topped out at 5.25kW incoming. Rather mind blowing at this time of year. 8-)

100W out of each system now as it all fades. 28.6kWh total for the day. How you doing out in the open Fintray? :twisted:

Chucked a load of miles into EV (then used them), ran HWT for three hours along with everything else in home and 82% stack soc from a start of 42% this morning. Not sure how long it will last and feeling very fortunate as it seems early to be enjoying such significant volumes of solar. :D

Definitely a day of extremes today, starting by clearing 3" of snow from the panels, finishing up with 15.5kWh generated.

Batteries full, 2 dishwasher loads, 1 washing machine load and dried off with the dehumidifier.
Never would have expected that 12 hours ago!

Way to go! There's definitely an earned ✌️ element when you shift the snow and gauges ramp up. Big fan of that! Just had a look at WT1, a day of extremes in South Wales too. I think we are going to pull a profit again today and dripfeed the VB. Calling it, SPRING starts now!.:) :twisted:

If that's even close to true then WT1 & my PV works last year have knocked a full month off the shoulder months scenario. 🙃

No idea what caused the spike in output about 09:30hrs this morning. :?

12 kWh here today and my last 3 days is a total of 23 kWh. :evil:, weather App is continuing to show unbelievable poor conditions here for the next 2 weeks.

Today is last day of my 7.5p IO cheapslot. :cry:, from midnight its 10p cheapslot and the SC is near doubling.

I imagine the sunny cold weather and light reflected from the lying snow will be helping up here, you'll need to get as much from your PV as you can with the increase looming.

Another astonishing day, 5.1kW at 11.00 hrs. SWMBO away into town with an EV full of harvested electrons. Washing machine will do two runs, HWT immersion will run for at least three hours then we'll let the batteries fill.

WBS is on, a gallon of lentil & bacon soup cooking on it. Restocked the garage woodstore and solar splitting some logs for Winter 23. :ugeek:

This is a good day! 👍
