March was a great production month

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.

I guess too late to edit.
It is more than the best May; it is the best month in 122 months online.

My May was slightly less than last year and less than June and July for the last 3 years

Sorry to hear than. My sympathies.

Sorry to hear than. My sympathies.

thanks for the condolences, but I did generate 2.057 MWh. Last year was 2.112

I just pulled up the power totals for May: I hoped it would have been better, but there were a few days where my net day was drawing from the grid instead of a net export.

June passed. Another very good month but not quite the same as May was. My first June back in 2012 is still in 1st place for the months of June but this past June now is in 2nd place. The last 2 months went over 700kWh on an effective 3.8 system.

Unfortunately, the fog is rolling in and cutting into production over the past week or so.

I did just under 5000kwh. Lots of clouds during the month so not that great.

August came and went. Another very good performer for August. Almost number 1 for 11 August production. Missed by 2.1 kWh being number one.
Now this August is number 2 of 11 August under the solar belt at 638kWh. 2015 is the best for now. It was also the best month in 2015.

New Year.
Recap 2022. Impressive year. Tenth full years of operation and 9 months partial year when installed in 2012.
Year 2022 was my 2nd best full year production with the 1st full year in 2013 being the best. As mentioned, May 2022 is the most productive of the 129 months of operation.
I started to wonder if the 2 halves of years have about equal production. Checked a couple of years and they showed that Jan to June produced more than July to December. Then I decided to check all 10 years. Turns out that 9 years produced more from January to June than the other half and only 1 years that didn't. This imbalance was from 2.3% in 2017 to 20% for 2022 and 3.2% more for that one year that the 2nd half produced more.
Interesting curiosity.

Had a great second half of 2022 because I finally got a transformer installed on my pole upping my line voltage. I knew it would make a difference in the Summer months where the system would trip off for hours but every month since the install at the end of June has been a record for me. 18MWh isn't too shabby from a single 11.4KW inverter (13.2KW of panels).

Well, May 2023 is behind us. 2022 May star performance is followed by this May being in 12th of 12 place for the months of Mays in production with 535kWh. This is 200kWh less than May last year. Maybe I should have washed them daily.

I only got 4.57MWh last month, lower than last year. Oh well going for over 5MWh in June

With the persistent marine layer down here May was pretty poor especially the later half.

 

[zƬesla]

We had our best May in 3 years with 2.75MWh for our best month since June 2020 install, and just edging out the now second place July 2022.

 

[DrSmile]

May smashed all prior records for me too, 2.34MWh vs 2.12MWh prior record. I'm going to need all that net metered power if the Summer is as hot and sunny as May was!

Oh, so you diverted all the good weather from me. How? Is it patented? I need to have it.

Uhmmm.., you're in Monterey. I'm in northern NH (or Canada as we like to say it). We diverted nobody's good weather

Well, it is not here, someone did.

3.3Mwh for May.
