Today is the shortest day of the year... how was your production?

[wjgjr]

Only 11.9 kWh today due to clouds, but my near-perfect day in the past week is 16.7, compared to a max of 42.8 (and might be able to get slightly higher since that was pre-PTO.) This on an 8.19 kW solar roof split evenly north/south.

Just glad the numbers should start trending up again.

 

[SMAlset]

34.3 kW today from 8.16 kW, 24-panel system. 11 SE, 13 SW.

 

[ucmndd]

14.4 kWh from a 7.5kw system here at 37 degrees north in CA. Half of my array gets a lot of shade this time of year.

Salt, thanks, needed more salt

58.8kW from 16.3kW panel all lying flat in S AZ.

 

[JeremyWhaling]

7.9 kWh from an all west facing 4 kW array in LA

3.8kW system, 16 kWh, cool weather, sunny all day, not a cloud. Bell curve like SMAlset.

While production has been very good this month here, rainfall is practically nil. 1" since 1 Oct. 5.+ seasonal norm and last year was 7" at this time.

4.2kWh from my 11.9kW array. And we had a weather trifecta of a record high temp, record rainfall, and snow today. Not my worst day ever though.

 

[Damclarkd]

32.05 kWh from a 7.4 kW system.

 

[jrweiss98020]

Not only the shortest, but maybe the rainiest day of the year north of Seattle! 1.31 KWh!

 

[MorrisonHiker]

I was hoping for ~50 kWh but due to it being partly cloudy, it only produced 27.6 kWh.

On June 21st, we hit 144 kWh.

Late to the party. 17.5kW PV with 14.4kW inverters. Partly-cloudy day yesterday, so about 3/4 of my non-cloudy winter generation (~44) and about 3/10 of my peak (~110) since PTO in early June. Joy of being in the north

SF East Bay. Slightly foggy in the morning, but sunny most of the day. Generated 4.1 kWh from 12.75 kW Solar roof.

 

[woferry]

25.1 kWh from my 13.32 kWp Solar Roof on a clear day in San Jose yesterday. Within about a month of the winter solstice a tree in my neighbor's yard provides some afternoon shade, the shelf at the end is a brief period where the sun dips below the leaves before it goes below the neighbor's roof.



The Tesla app reports 25.4 kWh, but that includes ~20W continuous solar production reported even when the sun is down, so I deduct that from my official number for what I upload to PVOutput.

Looking forward to those longer days of higher sun again, though I guess at some point it'll start to rain again here.

Ground or roof mount? Can you spread the rows out longitudonly and put them on an adjustable tilt mount? If you could that and spread them far enough apart to not have rows of panels shadowing others, you boost your December output by 81% compared to having them flat.

Nearly a perfect solar day today and generated just shy of 50 kWh.

 

[DHevey]

12/21 - Partly Cloudy - 42.0 kWh
12/22. - No Clouds. - 52.1 kWh

Nearly a perfect solar day today and generated just shy of 50 kWh.

Today was much better than yesterday for me too. A few clouds in the middle of the day, but pretty clear overall.

I'm trying to understand my production (new system just installed and got PTO). My numbers seem no where near what others with similar charts as mine (16.32KW system). We had a little cloud cover until 10am and then mostly sunny with a few high clouds later in the day. I looked and from 10:05am - 1:10pm I was producing over 5KW at all times with it reaching as high as 9KW but mostly staying in the 7's to 8's. By 1pm it said I generated a total of 12.2KWH which seems low since for 3 hours I never went below 5. Total for the day 15.3KWH.

Do you have a years worth of production quantity? Curious from that size and direction.
