Show us your solar output

[The Flying Scotsman]

Thought this might be slightly interesting.
It should show what power can be generated from your solar panels.
In this thread you can post up readings from your solar panels.
Whether they are on your house roof, van roof or stand alone suitcase type panels.
Here’s what my house roof is producing right now
Once my van is in the sun I will check its solar output.

What's your array Pmax?

It's how many panels etc and fitted wattage?

Pm me your mobile number and I'll add you in

I have 11 panels on my house roof and 2 big Duracell battery’s
I would need to check back to see how many watts etc.

From the camper parked in front of the house...


With the sun to the left if I turn the van around and pop the roof it will normally be just under 300 watts from the two Renogy 175 watt Flexi panels.

7.6Kwh from the 'Poxy 180 Club'! Over a month that is...

 

[TallPaul_S]

Approaching 1kw in a single day, thanks to some induction hob use and fridge being on


Just a measly 150ish watts from the 305w panel (270w max @ 20a) at the moment sat on my drive - it gets a bit of shade thanks to a big tree most of the day

Live right now, slightly overcast

Went live in July and generated just over 4 mwh by the end of the year

This is all Im getting from a new installation, somethings not right.

 

[Stay Frosty]

Got an isolating switch on the panels hidden somewhere between the panels and the MPPT?
On my setup I've got a double pole switch in the wardrobe so I can isolate the panels output when we're not using the camper or the battery is already full and needs draining.

 

[Hamster67]

Thanks for the reply, I will have a look. I had the panel installed at the same time as my pop up roof.

Its not practical going back.

Has that fuse tripped?

 

[Hamster67]

Does anyone know the purpose of the reset switch?

Should it be in/ out?

 

[Stay Frosty]

Just a guess but "in" as in lever and that popped out red button.
Looking at your first picture again and that circuit breaker thing is obvious now did somebody catch it with their delicate tiny fist?

 

[Dellmassive]

IN.

What's the voltage from the panel?

Shown on the main page.

Is imagine you have to pv power coming in.

 

[Hamster67]

Not guilty!
I just installed the victron connect app, so its the first I knew it was turned off.

Thats it charging now at 137 W.

Thank you for your suggestion
