So today we topped the 4000 watt mark on a couple of occasions. Not for too long, but long enough to be recorded by the OWL unit. The highest we've seen on the monitor is 4094W, but the average minute values recorded were 0.67 KWH in a minute which is a 4020W average.
I'm glad at this point that I have an over-rated inverter as a few extra watts are always welcome in making the meter tick over that little bit faster.
So far the weather this month has been very up and down. Generally the weather has been better than forecast, but we've not had any classically sunny days - lots of cloud mixed in, some rain, hail (twice today), rainbows, frosts and biting winds. As such I'm impressed the system is doing as well as it is, given the target requires over 10kWh per day I'm pleased to be on track and a little ahead (currently 15% up on the monthly cume). Whilst April will probably not be quite as good as March (with its exceptional 2-week spell of clear weather), it should really start to rack the units up.
I expect we'll complete our first megawatt-hour tomorrow - we closed on 999.77kWh today according to my records. This would be a nice milestone to pass.
