March was a great production month

[h2ofun]

Boy does it make a difference when we are in a drought, solar does great. Hitting 3MWh's for March is nuts. Will I ever hit 5, time will tell?

I’m surprised your neighbors haven’t knocked on your door hating you that you caused their energy bill to go up?! Some of the folks in the policy sub forum seem to hate solar.

 

[ptdusn]

Yes, March was pretty good. We have a 9.45kW system. SRP probably hates us because we fed 350kW back to them.

I had my 10th full March charted, along with all months.
This March was number 6 best March producer here for me. My number 1 March was the 3rd full March in 2015.
Now starting year 11.

Very impressive!

Jan and Feb were so dry, my production was 70% greater than predicted by my installer. In 2019, it as within 10%
March was only 21% greater

I think some of you may be interested in a 10-year breakdown of monthly solar production
Have two numbers above monthly totals: ranking of month for that year is circled; months ranking compared to another same month, not circled.
Had to allow for leap years for February.
The only thing one can say is how the weather affects production over time.

Two thoughts…

You must like keeping baseball box scores.
You gotta get Excel.

Just old fashioned. Like to draw it up and use the lead in my pencil.

Wow. This great. Seeing your data going back to 2012 makes me wish we got solar much earlier.

Time travel.

I'm Boston and March production was noticeable lower than last March 1,098 vs 0,884 MWt

While this is April, no need to start a new thread.
Almost at end of daylight and production looks very good indeed.
Have 11 Aprils and right now the production is 676 kWh with no real chance for mush more as fog is coming in.
AND, this April is the 2nd best of 11 Aprils. 2013 was 689 kWh.
Yep, it is all about the weather.

I just got PTO on the 12th of this month, but produced 1.3mWh which I felt pretty good about since there were also 4 VERY overcast rainy days.
Net export to the grid was 308kWh.

 

[taphil]

March and April were almost identical for me. 8.16kW system.

If I'm remembering you correctly your solar is completely south facing. I have the same sized system but split evenly S, W, & E. A bit worse in March and a bit better in April.

 

[taphil]

Interesting. Seems like you had a few more sunny days than I did.

 

[no2gates]

I only got my PTO on 4/12, but April was better than I thought it would be.

 

[charlesj]

Well, May is finished generating.
Thanks, global warming for a record May production.
This is my 11th May and just became number one in 11 Mays at 734 kWh. Before, the first May was best at 717 kWh followed by year 2 at 711 kWh.

4.66 MWh, will I hit 5 this year? 187Kwh best day so far, will I hit 190Kwh?
