Now that it's daylight savings I'll make less kWh.

[OzSolar]

Before daylight savings part of my PV is fully shaded until noon. Now that it's daylight savings it's not in the sun until 1PM. Sucks to lose an hour of production, especially in the middle of the day.

 

[Lt.Dan]

Might as well just shut the whole system down until November... Sigh...

I don't think you lost an hour of production, the production curve just shifted.

 

[Ampster]

I don't think you lost an hour of production, the production curve just shifted. It is still Noon somewhere else.

One of my earlier inverters actually used UTC and that is when I figured out that Daylight Savings is an illusion

Nope, definitely lost an hour. Its crazy. Lets vote to get rid of Daylight Savings finally.

Lol, check the Sub-Forum.

The fact we have daylight savings is evidence of how stupid politicians are.

Just grates on me every time I think about.

I will be making power later in the day but it won't make up for what I lost at noon.

I vote for making this fall the last time for DST change. @OzSolar can get his hour of production back, and then we'll never have to see these complaint threads again.

I'm sure I'll find something else to complain about. It will probably be the staggering number of people who refuse to use kW for power and kWh for energy.

Well, we can chat about what we call the time the sun shines, and how we relate regular working hours to that, but I can assure any that are not already in on the joke, no matter what we label the hours of the day, they are what they are, and unchanged by our titles.
BTW in Dairy country, the cows are no fans of DST either, and just produce milk to their own schedule regardless.

I'm just annoyed that you people keep screwing with your clocks twice a year.

We may have already lost one hour of our lives forever if this bill passes Congress.

”The US Senate has passed a bill allowing permanent Daylight Saving Time (DST) in all US states.”

And with this, as how Ozsolar just astutely observed, Solar ROI just got longer!

I'm just annoyed in general ... Pick a subject. It's been one of those days days

But what a joyous occasion when in the fall you get that noontime burst back again. Another vote here to keep DST.

Bullshipping* aside, I live in a country that has such an absurd time zone that we have the equivalent of DST (and a half) in winter, and are two (and a half) hours behind in summer. Which just means that most businesses open at 9 AM and most people dine at 10 PM.
And a lot of people still complain when autumn comes and it get dark earlier in the evening.

*Bullshipping: the well-known Italian practice of senselessly shipping bulls from one end of the country to the other, mainly to get agricultural subsidies.

What is this daylight savings thing of which you all speak? Oh, I live in Arizona, that's why - one of the two enlightened states where we don't do such silly things. :⁠-⁠)

 

[Don B. Cilly]

You know, winter/summer timezone changes do have some advantages.
And the fact that they still use them despite so many people whining and whinging about them seems to indicate so.
