January 2021, Solar production exceeds target!

Image
The end of January came and finished strong. A new record for daily outpt, 22.7 kwh.  The days are getting longer and the sun is moving higher, so this will continue. Yesterday, we were right on the edge (418 kwh) of hitting the PV Watts predicted target of 420 kwh. Today's big day put us over the top to 441 kwh! Way to go Tesla photovoltaic system. We needed to average 13.5 kwh/ day and we did 14.2 kwh/day. On to February...its a short month and the new target is 460 kwh. Thats 16.4 kwh/ day.

January 2021- Solar Output Update

January 2021 is almost over.Two more days to go...how will we perform against our predictive PVWatts model?  Lower, higher, on targer? We have to wait and find out! Its been a mix of sun , clouds, and a few snow days. In the mean time, I can say output is clearly rising on full sun days. Peak output time is about 1130am now. Outputs are now sustaining 3.3-3.5 kw for an extended time. I have noticed shorter surges to 3.7-3.8 kw. Here is the best day of the month so far, 21.4 kwh.  On this day, our predicted solar AC output was 3.04 kw at 11am. We were doing a steady 3.4 kw though. That's 11.8% higher than expected  Maybe Tesla Solar hooked me up a good production lot! Lets see sunday night if we are close to the 420 kwh target. Well still a positive recommendation for Tesla solar in thebDenver area.
