Post by AE-NMidlands »

it is a cold but gloriously sunny day here, and I thought the forecast was like that for most of England at least, which is borne out by the Met Office rainfall radar ir page:

but the generation report says no pv at all. How come?

On Ripple's webpage PV contribution is listed at 7.1% at 11.10am. Unfortunately contains no figure for actual value. :cry:

The data feed is sometimes lost, seen that a number of times in the past.

In fact on gridwatch the data is still there live and historically downloadable.

Image
18.7kW PV > 111MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 34MWh generated
7 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
90kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 530 m3

Thanks... why do I not spot what is blindingly obvious to everyone else?
Doh!

p.s. I have had a look at Gridwatch now and they say
"Elexon have been having issues with data feeds - This is causing breaks/delays in updating the data "
