Re: Spring has sprung?
It has been "lovely" here, unbroken cloud today - whereas we have been having cloudy spells recently and then a short thunderstorm yesterday, sadly only a couple of mm of rain though. 23 kWh generated today, 14.2 exported.

Re: Spring has sprung?
There are some perfect days for everyone over the next week. 
After my latest 2 panel upgrade, I'm expecting a new generating PB tomorrow, my current PB is 90 kWh from 20th June 2024.
Today we had some cloud for a time but still made 88 kWh.

Re: Spring has sprung?
Some late afternoon cloud came along to spoil it, just about equalling my generation PB at 90 kWh.
Friday now looks like busting it.

Re: Spring has sprung?
What a day here at Nowty Towers, I am almost certain a generating PB will be made today as the cloud looks like staying away.
78kWh so far, just 12 kWh more to match my generating PB with 9.5kW still coming in.

(nowtyrecord)
We are now down to the dregs of generation but the scores on the doors are over 100 kWh and a new Nowty Towers generation record.
Over 76 kWh on the grid ties and over 24 kWh on the charge controllers.
I would have got the Dalmatian record but I pushed the export too hard and had an overvoltage shutdown just after midday.
