Indian Summer September

#1

Post by nowty »

Nowty Towers is looking at maybe the best solar PV week of the year coming up. :mrgreen:

Very rare to see that forecast in the UK and a mini heatwave too, maybe will use the aircon this week. :twisted:

I struggled through last week but home and EV batteries are a whisker off full from todays sun. 8-)

For me, July was shocking (23% below baseline) and August (13% below baseline) was balanced with the better June (14% above baseline).

A nice September would be welcome as solar generation starts getting a bit marginal as we cross the equinox.

My results for those months shows:
June 16.6% above average
July 0.7% " "
August 8.3% " "
Averages are over previous 12 years for 3.87kW system.

September has got off to a good start with 142kWh so far from both systems.

But like Nowty has said it's downhill from here :cry:

100 x 47mm Navitron tubes (still being installed!) Now likely to be removed for more PV.
