jayc89 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 We have a wide south-facing window, which I'm having to keep the curtains closed on most of the day to avoid the sun being directly in my eyes whilst working. Got me thinking, must be a pretty good aspect for a PV array... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hi @ToughButterCup Yes I remember our delight at the first 1, 10, 100 and 1000kWh!!! Most exciting next was charging the car, then the hot water via a diverter. I am keenly looking forward to the first 10,000kWhs! Camelias @SteamyTea? No, not out yet. But soon...

But it travels in a SW to NE direction. So that makes you about 45 miles away, in time. So should only be a day and a bit later (30 hours).

It's been a good end to the month for PV, I've generated around 115kWh this month, 10% ahead of the PVGIS estimates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity Factor was halved. https://www.statista.com/statistics/555697/solar-electricity-load-factor-uk/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the energy I saved last month by fixing a door and fitting secondary glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
