Happy Winter Solstice

[Redhill_qik]

Today marks the shortest amount of sunlight for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Looking for to the next 6 months of increasing sunlight and generation.

Last day of full sun for the year, 35kWh from 8.16kW system

Very jealous, my 8.16kW system only generated 16.8kWh on 12/18 which was nearly a cloudless day. I'm much further north than you, but the majority is due to very sub-optimal placement on most of my panels, at least it is more than the PVwatts estimate of 14.1 kWh.

I got 18.9 from an 11.8 kW system on 12/18, but there were high scattered clouds that caused a few down spikes

 

[Tim-in-CA]

Wow. Far better than my same sized system in Corona. I only produced 19.1kWh the same day. I probably have sub-optimal panel placement.

I got a big 9.7kwh out of my 30kw system today

And a Happy Solstice to you all as well!

2.6kWh out of a 6.4kW system (rain, overcast...)

 

[Laketime]

We were cloudy on the 21st so 20kWh was the best we could get out of our 16.32kW system. But the day before was sunny and we squeezed out 35.2kWh. Come on spring!!

 

[zƬesla]

42kWh on the 21st (17.5 panels with 14.4 inverters). Of course, we used 102 that day between mini-splits and laundry.

Boy do rain clouds nail solar. 4.5kwh out of a 30 kw system, my lowest ever. So far big difference from last winter when not a lot of rain.

You should see how much I produce when we get 8" of snow...

Yep, zero kWh today, panels are covered by snow. Altho way up here at 47.5 north latitude I’ve been generating under 10 kWh a day from an 11.9 kW system even in good conditions…

 

[ptdusn]

Tuesday Dec 21st only produced 13.5kW from a 9.45kW system with 2 PW. Worst ever since activation was Friday Dec. 24th with only 5.7kW due to a rainy day.

 

[scdoubleu]

Cries in UK.

My system's been averaging ~1 kWh per day for nearly two weeks thanks to a continuous procession of gloomy weather. December as a whole is at ~95 kWh.

Spring can't come soon enough!

Bumping for 2022!

A mostly sunny Winter Solstice Eve yesterday yielded only 15.2 kWh for me, so I'm looking forward to the spring.

42.7kWh

 

[jjrandorin]

19.5kWh yesterday (20DEC2022) for me, from a 7 year old 8.6kW system in SoCal. I havent kept records, but the first couple of years around this time I used to get around 22-25kWh.

 

[Darkside213]

I got 13.0 kWh yesterday. I have no idea how big my array is (20 panels)

 

[TerranApart]

Got 14.3kWh yesterday from 3.4kW of panels. Not too bad for a 12-year old system.
It's sunny today as well; hoping for another good day.

42.7kWh

Got 1kWh extra today vs yesterday! 43.7kWh. PWs charged and ready for the upcoming storm.

We got 22" of snow last Friday which caused lots of downed power lines around here. Grid went out for a couple of days which we rode out fine with the PWs. The lack of Internet and water however were an inconvenience. At least we had heat as nights have been in the teens.
