This arrived today from Bimble.

Room for one more waffa thin solar panel here at Nowty Towers.
And thats not the final resting place and it might be the last one.

Nice one, another for the list. This current one at my place is my last one.

Old 325W panel which is going to be repositioned in the rear garden and will be running off a new Victron DC Charge Controller, along with 3 of its siblings.



New 405W panel in its place for that little bit extra, connects via a TIGO (voltage optimiser) to an existing string.


SWMBO is currently in London helping our daughter (she's having twins ). I haven't mentioned the new panel to her, I'm hoping she won't notice the difference.

If she notices just say you've cleaned it ...........

New 2024 PB here at Nowty Towers, over 52+ kWh on my Solar PV, best day since 25th Sept last year.

Plus 40+ kWh so far today on my share of the Ripple Graig Fatha wind turbine.

So a combined 92+ kWh of renewable power today.

Just managed 47kWh up here today as fait bit of cloud passing over, best day so far was on Friday at 66.7kWh, not looking too great for the next few days though.

Quite a lot of passing cloud here too, so I was pleasantly surprised how much I generated today.

By contrast Friday for me was a measly 15 kWh.

March is an interesting month, it can be as good as mid summer or nearly as bad as midwinter.

Looking back over the previous years results and March is when the bigger generation (for me anyway) starts. Over the 8th till the 11th of March last year my panels produced 212.5kWh and the average for March for the past 5 years is 1010kWh.
