43 Kwh today from 8.4Kw of array. Started at 29% SOC. Not bad.

My batteries hit float today for the first time since I doubled the battery pack. Finally.
Which means we are getting rain for the next 2 days.

Less panels, but better location.84kW is impressive! How many panels do you have? Sounds like more than @timselectric
I'm surrounded by trees. With a hill to my south. Which makes winter truly suck. The winter sun is only high enough to see my panels for two hours. And since they are facing east/west .they can't collect much from a low south sun angle.

Ground mounts or vertical on south facing wall? You could fill the whole wall(s) with panels the same way you did your roof already. A true solar house.
Got 15kWh today. Mother Nature is teaching me to be humble. But we'll see who is who after I get my "tiny blue" genny working...

Ground mounts are going to happen. But first I have to remove many trees.Ground mounts or vertical on south facing wall? You could fill the whole wall(s) with panels the same way you did your roof already. A true solar house.
Only the very back of the property is far enough away from the hill. To see the winter sun.
I'll get there, eventually.
For now, I just have to suffer through these 8 weeks.

But suffering sucks when you have 91 panels waiting to be installed. lol

I did consider installing a billboard array. lolStrategically cut branches off trees, use the trunks for your ground mounts

30kw array.84kW is impressive! How many panels do you have? Sounds like more than @timselectric
I upgraded from 19 kW to to 30 kw.
Last December we ran a big deficit so thought it was the right thing to do.
I’m still running a deficit.
First few days of December were dark.
If I can get 60 kw per day I can make it through.
It varies from 80+ to 5 kw.
Kinda like a farmer and reliant on the weather at this point.

Ah!... kWh
Sorry was a bit slow here - should have realised that no one has more panels than @timselectric ?
and not wanting to tread on @MisterSandals toes, you obviously meant...

My array is 60 x 480watt panels. Upgraded from 30
Not sure what anyone else has.

60 x 480W = 28,800W = 28.8kW
I am pretty sure you mean kWh, where k = kilo, W = Watt (a persons name so capitalized), h = hour
60kWh daily production / 28.8kW array = 2.01 hours of solar
In other words, your 28.8kW array with 2.01 hours of sun produced 60kWh of power.
When you use the correct units, everybody can understand what you mean and the math makes sense.
Not trying to be the grammar police but hoping to help with understanding the terms.

Well today I got a shitty 20.6 kWh.

Yeah, that does suck. Getting only 0.715 sun hours is bad. I have only dropped under 1 sun hour maybe 5 days in 4 years.

This is such a sad thread.
But it helps knowing that you are not alone.
