We just had our first day of a predicted 5 in a row of heavy clouds and rain. My Enphase system tried it's best.
2 days ago, that system made 15.1 KWHs, pretty good for the shortest days.
Yesterday, it made just 8.9 KWHs as the clouds started to move in. Got some decent sun for about 1 hour.
Today, it was overcast and cloudy all day, and rained a bit, an the total was just 4.0 KWHs. The peak power only hit 1.6 KW at 10:30 am, the rest of the day was much worse.
In the hot Summer, and into Fall even, we were having tiny power glitches that the XW-Pro inverter was seeing as the grid frequency being too high. That was causing a short disconnect. About half the time it happened, it would cause the XW to go into charge mode when it reconnected to the grid. It didn't happen for almost 2 whole months, but then, it did it on Sat. at 10 pm, and again, at 12:30 am this morning. The funny thing is, with this bad weather, I was going to the XW to force some grid charging, only to find, it was already charging, both times. Hmmm. It is sort of an accidental "Storm Guard" mode. It's almost midnight as I am typing this. It didn't start charging today, in fact I do have a decent amount of battery charge left, but with the crappy forecast ahead, I am setting it to charge at just 7 amp overnight. That is less than 400 watts. If it goes for 10 hours, it will be just 4 KWHs. Only a little more than $1 USD. Then it will have the energy needed to get past the high rate ToU again. I'll keep doing this until the weather clears up a bit. Looks like we might get sun next Sat.
