February March Solar Stats

in Solar Steem12 days ago

I have been slack the last two months so this post will fill in that 2 month period of Solar at my place, February was the month i had been waiting on as it was half way through February last year when we got the solar installed.

And February is our sunniest month here in New Zealand so i wanted to see how close to 100% self powered we could get. I started the month being in Tasmania Australia which had awesome sunny day's for the whole 19 days i was there.

I could see back home via the Tesla App the same was happening and we had our best month being 92% self powered, not the 100% i wanted but still pretty good - March has been ok as well coming in at 82% self powered.

As you can see in February we were sending lots of power to the grid due to the Summer weather, that changed quite drastically in March.

We generated 720KWH in February which remember is only a 29 day month, March generated 634KWH, our last 4 months powerbills have totaled $162 which 95% would be daily line charges we pay the be connected to the grid.

These graphs show the powerwall battery and where its power comes from and where is discharges that power to, incoming solar outgoing house.

Great analysis for the past two months!

By the way 720KWH sounds great for an off-grid systerm output. I can't remember, what's your inverter size again interms of KVA?

Ours is a 5KWH inverter

Dear,
Welcome to Solar Community. Hope you will continue to share your solar knowledge with us. I love reading your posts on solar. Looking at your solar graph I understand that your solar plant efficiency is very good. However, solar panels lose some efficiency day by day. You mentioned it's time for solar maintenance. I have opened the links to your previous posts. The efficiency of your solar panel is very good.

I look forward to reading your next post. Good luck to you.

Thanks, i look forward to learning more about Solar with this community

Good production levels.

How many panels have you got?

Thanks - i got 12 x panels at the moment
