A good day forecast

Today is the first day since the system went live that we have a great weather forecast - clear skies & lots of sun all day. So I'm expecting a record day.

By 0830 it was clear that the forecast was living up to its promise and the system was already pumping out a very healthy 700watts of juice.

In fact, a quick glance under the stairs showed that for the first time that I had observed, the main electric meter was complaining about trying to go backwards. I dont think it does, only that it glows and complains with an error message. This may have occurred before, but I was not around to witness it.

Shortly after, the family started moving about and the illusion was gone - on went the TV, laptop etc. and suddenly we were no longer self-sufficient, but that should all change as the sun increases strength around lunchtime.

Here's hoping I will be recording our best ever generation figures by the end of the day.

Postscript: 4.468 kWh produced today, beating the previous high of 3.377 kWh. Not bad for a nice day at the tail end of November.
