Believe it or not, even if we only get about half the forecast for the last remaining days GF should still come in on or above baseline for May. :mrgreen:

That is a surprise, as I reckoned that the CF was only 1.5 up to now.
Good to hear.

I'd need 50kWh per day next 3 days to match May 22. :evil:

Financially though, that's a very different story! :twisted:

If it gets to within 10% or so of last year May generation I'll be very happy.

Baseline capacity Factor (CF) for GF in May is 17.7%, as of midnight last night we were at 15.9%.

Looks like increasing to just over 17% by the end of today and probably 18% or 19% by end of the month on Wednesday. Still it will be the third highest monthly payout ever. :twisted:

But when the KH turbines start cranking its baseline CF for May is 30.6%. :mrgreen:

And for DW when the panels start to sizzle its baseline CF for May is about 16.5%. :geek:
In comparison, for my own PV the CF for May is 11.5% because of non optimum positioning, shading and curtailment. :ugeek:
One of the reasons its worth it for me to go DW rather than add more panels to my property.

Nowty, do you have CF monthly lists for each Ripple project? Wouldn't mind spending an hour running my potential figures per month over a year.

Brilliant day yesterday with 39.85kWh off GF and 60.17kWh off the home PV's. Squeaked through into a triple digit day with 100.02kWh total. :D

Looks like another cracker down at GF today. 8-) An excellent surprise to see this wee spike in a relatively doldrumesque month.

GF v KH v DW Baseline CF's,
Note - the CF's for GF and KH are from Ripples own info and for DW I estimated by using PVGIS based on the geographical location.

I did a financial comparison of the three projects here which may be helpful,

EDIT - I have reduced DW by a little since posting earlier to be consistent with the share offer baseline but the monthly profiling for DW is still based on PVGIS.

I'm going to do a post tomorrow but I've hit a major generating milestone today ! 8-)

Just need ripple to do the cumulative generating update.

My sig probably gives it away. :mrgreen:

Best total day for me on the 29th - 13.43kWh GF and combined 36.2kWh from PV giving 49.63, other good days have all been in 45kWh range and I think 50kWh is possible with all the right conditions.
5.6kW PV
0.8kW WT1 and 1.2kW WT2
9.6kWh batteries
3.5kW+2.5kW ASHP

Thanks again Nowty, transferred the data onto my usual format. One thing that stood out was the Bonny X of project calender inversion. I really noticed it when i lit up the solar project in yellow. The whole thing is a graph of happiness! :) I'll do another chart later to see my personal anticipated monthly take across the projects. Cheers! Congrats on the 8MWh milestone btw. 8-)
