#SolarUpdate LIES.... LIES... IT'S ALL LIES!!!
This is an example of how I have been lied to for the last 8 days.
The grey is the prediction for solar generation tomorrow.
Every single day for the last 8 days have seen a similar curve prediction between 12-17kwh of generation.
The very small partially coloured in irregular curve is what happens on the actual day.
Those 12-17kwh turn into 1-4kwh... at worst, 10% of the prediction, at best 20%.
It's like they've lost the ability to predict anything properly... they couldn't even predict if bears shit in the woods.
It's frustrating, because I can't plan for shit... I think, oh tomorrow will be good, I can do some laundry and drying for almost nothing... or I could put the dishwasher on... important things to reduce how much electric we consume.
So the dishwasher is full, the laundry is piling up and if it lies tomorrow too... I'm going to have a very expensive day using 2 or 3 times the amount of electric I normally.
It's already the worst Oct we've ever had, more than 50% down on the avg. It's more like Dec generation.
I know we're heading into the colder, darker, months... But we should normally be generating 280kwh of electric still... we won't even hit 140kwh at this rate.
It's also starting to affect my S A D... I've not seen sunlight for 8 or 9 days now.
