That's pretty cool! 10% was my educated guess. It's good to have some data points.
Would you say the same holds across months? Say, would cooler May have better production than hotter July? Or is July still ahead because of more sunshine hours, offsetting the hot inefficiencies?
- edent 3y agoIt really depends on the weather. You can see my monthly generation at https://pvoutput.org/aggregate.jsp?id=83962&sid=74451&v=0&t=m https://pvoutput.org/aggregate.jsp?id=83962&sid=74451&v=0&t=... Sometimes May beats July, sometimes it doesn't. If you're interested, I have released all my panels' data at https://gitlab.com/edent/solar-data/ https://gitlab.com/edent/solar-data/
- duckmysick 3y agoThanks. This is all very interesting, I love graphs like these. I see the pvoutput page didn't pick up some days in May and June 2020. I'm curious why, since I can see them on your .csv dumps.
- edent 3y agoProbably because my Internet connection went down.
- stephen_g 3y agoI'm in a hot climate, I find in general with my system that the length of the day dominates over the loss in efficiency so December (southern hemisphere) is always the peak generation for me. January we usually have storms and rain due to the humidity so that's not usually as good, but it seems to be pretty reliably due to that shading from the cloudy and rainy weather more than heat.
