SteamyTea Posted Wednesday at 12:50 Posted Wednesday at 12:50 So it has been a sunny week, but chilly air. Has anyone noticed an upright in their PV production? If you can compare it to the same week, from previous years, that would be really useful.
JohnMo Posted Wednesday at 13:04 Posted Wednesday at 13:04 Here are two weeks a year apart. Above 2024 Above last week I thought this year was better, but seems last year wins.

Russdl Posted Wednesday at 18:09 Posted Wednesday at 18:09 Significant difference down south. 27th Feb - 4th Mar 2024 26th Feb - 4th Mar 2025 The most noticeable result of the increased solar is the decreased heating requirement (the house is around 21 degrees). The heating last turned off at 05:30 on the morning of the 27th Feb and it hasn’t been back on since. It doesn’t look like we’ll need any this week and maybe not next week either despite negative overnight temperatures, down to around -4 to -5 on recent nights. Epic.

JohnMo Posted Wednesday at 18:56 Posted Wednesday at 18:56 Clean and check over tomorrow, I think for mine.
Russdl Posted Wednesday at 19:02 Posted Wednesday at 19:02 @JohnMo do you think you have a have problem then? We have had wall to wall sunshine down here for the last few days with hardly a cloud in sight so not at all atypical.

Won't hurt to give it all a clean and make sure I have no issues.

Weather Underground has a solar meter near you. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IENGLAND520/graph/2025-03-2/2025-03-2/weekly Probably one near @JohnMo.
Russdl Posted Wednesday at 21:30 Posted Wednesday at 21:30 I’ve got one in the garden on my weather station but annoyingly it quit recording the Solar Radiation a while ago. Consequently I’ve substituted Solar Radiation with PV Production so I can continue to bore my wife witless with my statistics. 😃
