Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

[wingnut771]

Damn, thought you meant exceeding 100% with cloud edge buggered up the panels somehow. lol

Remember the lab test is at 1000W/m² and cell temp 25c. How many W/m² is cloud edge effect?

How much does mppt voltage spike during cloud edge effect?

I'm telling ya, Today was hard.

This was our irradiance today...

Can you post solar voltage graph to compare?

This is the newest of our 3 strings...

Jeez, that doesnt match up at all.

So for me I think solar assist only tracks the max power point voltage (which makes sense when you pulling power) which doesn't really go up hey. Just the current obviously goes up.

Don't see any 5kW in that pic.

Yeah it was only for a few seconds I don't think it was there long enough to graph but did see 5.04kW on that pv graph.

6th day of clouds, though yesterday wasn't too bad compared to the others.

Not the best but seems to be pulling a good amount. Battery at 70

Nope almost half of yesterday

Indeed.

Interesting this last couple of days got me into a discussion with AI over renewables... Seems my idea of homes and businesses switching over to lower demand isn't actually a good idea either, as this now starts bringing up a he has I don't have type situation and actually can increase costs to those who're still on the grid.

Ask AI about running genny off hydrogen that was made from the previous boobs. Is it feasible then?

You don't like manboobs ?

Anyway looks like I live in Cape Town

Nice table mountain reflection in the ocean of SOC you have there.

And no, moobs are just straight up invalid. Does not compute.

Getting to the 10am battery full days now. By December it will be 9am full.
