Want to find out how much those #solar panels will likely generate? pvwatts.nrel.gov/pvwatts.php has a handy calculator. It takes details of the panels, their angle, direction and location. It integrates that with historical weather reports, and gives you a spreadsheet with a daily estimate of how many kWh you can expect on average for each day of the year.

I have posted our Solar Generation and Export numbers for January

www.bazmac.me/blog/january-solar-generation-and-export-numbers-2025

I have also started a new page. This post shows the generation over the years.

As panels decline over time, I thought it might be interesting to track. Of course the weather will come into it.

Too geeky for my own goodSolar Generation Year On Year Comparison — Too geeky for my own goodSolar panel performance declines over the years. I thought it might be interesting to see how mine compares. Of course weather comes into it, but hopefully this will be a useful guide.

Ok, so a family member loudly declared that solar from the roof is not used in the house, its all exported and then you import all your power.
Context: Australia.
Can anyone provide official references that confirms or denies this?
‘Cause we generate 100 times what we export (according to device data) so that sounds wrong (but i didn’t think of the disparity until they had left)
