Winter Solstice solar count

#1

Post by Joeboy »

Listening to Classic FM and Alexander Armstrong said we are past the dip and heading to lighter times. I thought it worth marking that with a solar count from yesterday. Although TBH I thought today was bottom of the dip and tomorrow the solstice? Ah well..

Solaredge 207Wh
Victron 750 Wh

Not even a combined single kWh! :facepalm: :surrender:

I think the phrase is?


How did you guys do?
15kW PV SE, VI, HM, EN
42kWh LFPO4 storage
73kWh V2H EV
7kW ASHP
200ltr HWT.
3G
Deep insulation, air leak ct'd home
WBSx2
Low energy bulbs
Veg patches & fruit

Yesterday, like quite a few days recently, was one of those days where we were in and out of the cloud base.

Unsurprisingly we only achieved 180Wh from 3.6kWp.

Looking forward to the upswing in February for solar and next winter having KH operational and contributing to winter power requirements.
