Camelot Members Annual Green Electric Generation

[Stinsy]

What does a typical Camalot member look like? Do we have numbers for the median kWp of solar and kWh of storage?

I've heard they look much like this:-

What does a typical Camalot member look like? Do we have numbers for the median kWp of solar and kWh of storage?

I've heard they look much like this:-

The median for kWp of solar (on own properties) is around 3.6 kWp.

The median for kWh of home battery storage (excluding EV capacity) is 7.1 kWh.

Update time,
Quite a few more members, normally not much happens in winter, but more members, plus other improvements including myself within the membership on the secret list, and soon we will have the Ripple project 4 share offer open, well its now delayed, whatever.

Prices of solar panels and batteries are about the lowest I have ever seen so take advantage as they tend to rise in the spring along with the sun in the sky.

And now with “associate members” to my secret list. These are family members of Camelot members who have installed a system on their property or bought into the Ripple Coop projects, and crucially the Camelot member had some significant bearing on it. I'm also flexible with the term "family member", it could be a lifelong friend, your neighbour, etc. I just don't want an installer / salesman, etc, claiming they have facilitated dozens of systems.

For example, someone on here persuaded their sibling to install a solar and battery system and another bought some Ripple project for their grown up children. I had previously indicated that the family member could register with this website even if they did not ever post. In hindsight, that was pretty pointless but I also don’t want the stats to be skewed, hence adding them as additional members keeps the correct average per member (full or associate) maintained.

We now have 143 registered members and 14 associate members.


In an average year 157 Camelot members will generate 819 MWh of renewable electricity onsite and 263 MWh remotely.

Onsite Generation
PV - 755 MWh
Wind - 62 MWh
Hydro - 2 MWh
Total - 819 MWh

Remote Generation via Coop's
Ripple GF - 51 MWh
Ripple KH - 166 MWh
Ripple DW - 42 MWh
Hydro - 4 MWh
Total - 263 MWh

Annual Generation TOTAL - 1,082 MWh (or average per member 6.89 MWh)


AND


The same 157 Camelot members have a combined 6,033 kWh of onsite Energy Storage capacity.

Home Batteries – 2,253 kWh
EV Batteries - 2,606 kWh
Hot Water Storage - 855 kWh
Thermal Mass Storage - 319 kWh
Energy Storage Capacity TOTAL - 6,033 kWh (or average per member 38.43 kWh)


Keep em coming, there must be more of you out there generating and storing.

Publicly reply to this thread or PM me with your PV (kW installed or annual kWh), Ripple project, Co-op or other generation. Alternatively add it to your sig like many do and I’ll come across it sooner or later.

And now, if you have a family member you have coerced into installing a system, buying into a Ripple project, buying an EV, I will add them as an associate member. I'm also flexible with the term "family member", it could be a lifelong friend, your neighbour, etc.

Other types of storage too, EVs, hotwater and thermal mass storage.
EVs - gross battery size or even EV model if you don't know.
Hot Water / thermal stores - Tank size in litres.
Storage heaters – Heat capacity (kWh) or power (kW) or even brand / model numbers.
Under floor heating - mass or volume of concrete slab.

We'll be in Spain at the end of the month. I"ll be having a casual look around for a Hoymiles HMS-1600 while there. Might be an idea to hoy (get it?) another 1600W onto the final roof space (cabin).

The figures look great Nowty, power to the people!

First full year of generation at my daughter's SE and SW facing 6kW of panels and 5kW solis inverter produced 5275kWh yesterday. I am very pleased with that.

Major bug with the inverter is inability to charge 3 pylontech 3000s to a fixed % SOC but not a big deal in practice as amps can be set during off peak.

The Zappi charger does not integrate well but I am having trouble persuading her to move to IOG and just charge overnight and exporting instead of using excess PV production.

I had estimated 5000 kWh for her, so nice to hear its exceeded that.

It just shows that location is everything, compared with my similar sized two strings which fell just short of 4MWh in the year October 22 to 23.

Update time,
A few more members, plus other improvements within the membership of the secret list.

I believe there is a secret pallet of circa 144kWh of LIFEPO4 batteries enroute from China to Europe via the train link included in this update.

And Ripple P4 which is confirmed to be a wind farm is not too far away.

We now have 147 registered members and 15 associate members, the collective keeps spreading its tentacles.

In an average year 162 Camelot members will generate 840 MWh of renewable electricity onsite and 268 MWh remotely.
