I have a record of my 24hr CF PB being 19th Sept 23. 95.879%.
The prediction graph shows it dropping away this evening but its been a great couple of days.
I reckon my pb was Oct 17th, CF of 98.7%. I have "only" 95.9 for 19 Sept, but I might have missed the after-the-day adjustment.

I was in Turkey for that so unlikely to have been paying attention, thanks!

Just checked and going on the insight figures I have 17th Oct down as 92.5% CF. I shall not quibble. :D
I don't have a record of the max day. :facepalm:

But today looks like it could be the highest ever as it might not drop off till the early hours. :xx:

Same here, 24th March 97.01%. Today looks like that figure is going to be seriously tested! :xx:

Have to confess to being a little confused when working our today's CF based on the insights data, as at 20.45 hrs our total was given as 31.93 kW's. Our buy in figure was 1.559 kWs so at 20 hours worth came to 102%, which just didn't seem correct so wondered if the total, 31.93, included the 21st hour still to be completed. Took that off which then returned 97.49% for the twenty hours, so far more sensible.
Assuming 1.5 kWs/hour for the last three hours then 36.43 so a mere 0.13 kWs more than the March figure for us!

Not long to go now to find out. Anyone turning in before midnight? :fight:

95.95% CF before adjustment, not exactly shabby!. :)

Nov 22 generation was over 722kWh which generated £70. I reckon this Nov will be about 750kWh and just over £200. :o

Pays nearly 50% of my Derril Water payment (thankfully finishing next month).

Nowty, will you crack your first 1MWh single month WT generation? :D

Learning all the time. Currently 3rpm(20%) off of peak yet only generating 25% of CF.

I am getting lots of emails from Ripple at the moment, some urging me to reserve a place in scheme 4 by midday today, also from Seedrs wanting what I think of as non-tradeable share capital.
I guess the Seedrs bit is the additional finance that R talk about raising in parallel with coop member contributions.

My inherited increase was applied on the 10th Nov so I've missed out on the first third of the month but the mythical 1MWh still looks on the cards. If not it will almost certainly happen some time over the winter.

My brother is already exited watching the graphs, he has signed up for project 4 and asked how much can he buy. He is a very, very low user but I'll have him up to as close to the 7000 kWh limit where no questions are asked. :mrgreen:

Absolutely not, its simply equity fund raising for Ripple to keep trading as a going concern.

EDIT - Sorry I am wrong on this one as this time they are raising cash as a convertible so the original owners are not selling down their equity holdings as they did in previous cash raising.

That's great, I'm sure your Dad would be glad for his boys, nice one 👍

That's as I understand it too, AE. As Ripples ethos is to help Joe Public with community based projects then I'm all for assisting them so followed up on it with a contribution. I see they are now over funded so looks like they have loyal supporters!
It's not entirely benevolent on my part as hoping to receive a financial return at some point! :xx:
