Is my Solar panel doing well?

Hi

not knowing exactly what this is in converted watts anyone tell me if this is a good draw and typicality what does it mean I can run for free?

thanks

what you powering?

Hi Dellmasive,

currently domestic van fridge in use and a 12v Halfords fridge plugged in.

am more curious than anything else as I get to learn what the power means when it’s drawing as been away for 2 days now without EHU

Looking at the yield for yesterday you could run something at 10w for 24 hours, 20w for 12 hours etc for 'free'.
The other days not very much at all.

Hi Howzat

How do you read then to get that understanding for future reference is it a simple calculation?

 

[Howzat]

The yield is showing how much Wh the panel provided that day. So something drawing 260w would run for an hour, 26w for 10 hours on solar alone.

The app isn't showing your consumption which would probably require a shunt fitting to the battery. Then you would get a true idea of what's going in and what's being used.

Ahh ok might need to do some upgrades to then to setup. Also want to add a topping that converts the power to use plug sockets when not on EHU I believe you can buy and have it connected
