September Summary

Average daily generation this month = 12.18 kWh (predicted average is 10.80 kWh)
Max daily generation this month = 21.18 kWh
Min daily generation this month = 3.31 kWh

Total generation for this month = 365.38 kWh

So the from a numbers point of view September was like August but with one day less.  The average was almost the same, the max was slightly lower than in August, the low was slightly higher than August and the total generation is really just showing the difference between 30 and 31 days in a month.

Yet we had more days near or above 15 kWh in September than in August.  OK so maybe I'm being affected by the wonderful weather that we have had over the last week (and the fact that this weekend is looking to be terrific as well) - still go and compare the September chart to the one for August.

So far only August has not exceed the predictions, and it was almost spot on.  It will be interesting to see if this trend continues.

We have generated a total of 2661.3 kWh of electricity since installation (back in early April) and avoided/saved a total of 3999.94 lbs (1814 kg) of CO2.

15.57 kWh generated in 11.5 hours

Another beautiful day in the neighbourhood!  :)

September 28th 2011

15.63 kWh generated in 11.5 hours

Now that is more like it.  Ok so the day isn't as long as it was a few months ago - still there is plenty of sunlight!  It was a nice day to be outside.  :)

This is a great example of just how much the time of year impacts the amount generated.  A nearly perfect graph and yet not quite 16 kWh - pick a day in May with the same shape of graph and you would be looking at a 26kWh day.

August Summary

So August is over.  The weather since we returned from holiday has been a mix bag - ranging from meh to bah.  :(

Average daily for the month was 12.22 kWh (vs 15.4 kWh for July)

Max daily generation was 22.72 kWh
Min daily generation was 3.04 (actually we had 2 such days - and they are the new lowest daily readings)

Total generation for the month as 374.19 kWh (vs 481.97 for July) - what a difference a single month can make.

Oh well - guess I am looking forward to September.  :)

August 23rd 2011

3.04 kWh generated in 12.0 hours

Yup you read those numbers correctly.  :(  Look at that graph!  Never even reached 0.7 kW generated at any given point.  :(  This is what the average in December is supposed to be like - not keen on days like this in August.
