Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

[Lupus]

Funny thing is, I am getting decent generation, if this was my old system so yeah the adage is just throw more panels at things could work.

Looks like I'm getting an Elliot Page today as it's clearly Jessica Rabbit's day off.

Can't the cloud edge stay like this for a couple of hours?

Wait, you guys are getting cloud edges?

I only did 1 cup of hot chocolate and some chicken strips in the airfryer last night. Doubt my Inverter and Solarpanels will get out of bed today.

What does peeve me off though, A baby rat decided to chomp on one of my PV cables on the roof. My inverter went nuts with error codes and powered down. The rat was thoroughly D-fibbed with 450V.

Managed 38.2kWh today, not too bad considering the cloud cover this morning, used more grid than I would have liked though.

Mine was just short of 20. No grid usage

I am sure you can shave some 10kWh easily with a HP. Maybe get one. Dont know if you can use 1 HP to do 2 geysers.

Yup it really does help

The geysers are about 20m apart unfortunately not in compliance with the @wingnut771 geysers in series principle.

So what you are saying is you have 20m space to put in a few geysers.

Been an OK month . 1 or 2 days of low generation. and 1 day missed ( and reflected for the next day )when I rebuilt my homeassistant as a dockerised solution to match the rest of my home media build

Saved ~19kg of gas by preheating water from solar

Seeing quite a bit of heat loss on th eupstiars geyser. May pay to check/replace the blankets and pipe cladding
