Best April for Solar

[curlietailz]

I’ve never cleaned mine :-(

 

[upnortheast]

Ours never been cleaned. & don`t look like they need it. Guess it would be different if close to trees or on a poultry / pig shed roof ( Dust )

29.25kw 4000kwh this April. Normally what we do in May/June/July so up about 10-15%

No sorry, 29.25kw array, 4000kwh production

Well May has been our best ever month at 4700kwh from a 29.25kw array

Certainly May has been very good here, but only marginally better than May 2018 in my part of Suffolk. I think the fact we have not cleaned , thanks to Covid, has probably cost some production

Just checked our 29kw array on our roof.
May did 4862 kwh, if my figures are correct.
April did 3854 kwh.

We did clean ours in March,

verily my son, We have done 7500 on a sub 50 array, but I know it does need cleaning, just beaten by a 22,992c on a 144 Kw array
Been a cracking month!

Meanwhile my panels are still self isolating in packing crates
Should be exposing themselves by the end of this mth, if all goes to plan.

I can be thanked for the recent rain, I employed a crew to renovate a roof over my main electric incomer, meters and switch boards, they strip the old asbestos sheets off so it rained.
Expect rain and winds at end of mth when the solar guys arrive here.
Same as we had terrible wet weather from the day we started digging for gshp last sept

Have had british gas ask for a photo of gen meter showing reading and serial number to prove generation for quarter as much higher than usual! anyone else had this with the good spring quarter we have just had?

im not surprised, computers don’t think about weather

i get the same calls after a wet / dry harvest - why has your meter not moved / moved a lot!

They are supposed to check these things every 2 years so it should be no surprise. Don’t be concerned

5 years we have one meter reader visit. No request for pic, maybe a coro policy

 

[Andrew K]

What sort of safety measures are you thinking of? If electrical , you should have no issues as it is DC. Or are you thinking working at height,

Sorry, should have said working at height.

On the domestic side I've had to send EON a picture of the meter every reading for the last year.

I had a similar issue with EON only to discover i was wrong, I had been under reporting
