This Clean was very interesting if anyone that Follows me Knows how much i hate they Way Some people show Before and After Clean Inverter Readings! On this Day I Showed Dirty 8am, 10am and 12pm showing an Increase in Performance all without Cleaning as i was there Moving the Solar Hot Water panels that were put on facing West onto a Frame and Faced them North!!! To Hear Today from the Customer that they have not switched the Booster on in the Last 12 Months to The Hot Water tank!
What a Difference it Makes Facing the Panels in the Right Direction :)
So Onto The P.V Panels Next. As I Mentioned These were also Facing the Wrong Direction, on a Very Steep Roof. Mount Nathan is also a Bit like Mt Tambourine for those that Live in those Areas know how Great it is to keep your Car Clean !!
System Size - 22 x 230watt Panels = 5.060 Kw
Panel Size - 230 watts
Invetre Brand - Sunteams
Inveter Size - 5 Kw
Age - Approx 5 Years
Facing - W /S-W
Estimated Age 5 - 6Years Old at This date
18/04/16
Reading - 26375 Kwh (Average CEC 21 Kwh / Day)
I find it is very hard to provide an accurate Average until 12 months min have passed, So this was just a Small Guide.
P.V Watts Calculator = 15.045675Kwh/Day
13/05/16 - 25 Days - Clean and treatment Day
Reading - 26642kwh - 10.68 Kwh / Day
20/05/16 - 7 Days - Dropped in For a Check up while I was passing . Just what I do sometime!!
Reading - 26732kwh - 12.714285kwh/day
19.04761% Improvement
As we can See After 12 Months The Average Kwh / Day are Nothing like a 5 Kw System Should be doing, but on the calculations of P.V Watts on the Direction, Angle and The Panels were Black from Tree Sap. The improvement is Showing. Also as I mentioned it was Great to Hear that the Hot Water Solar was now Working Great.
19/05/17 - 364 days - Reading Only - No Charge
Reading - 32220 Kwh - 26732 Kwh / 364 days = 15.076923 Kwh / Day
P.V Watts = 4765 Kwh/Year = 13.054794 Kwh / Day
Returning in 6 months to Check again and Discuss if 12 Monthly Cleans or 18 Monthly or Hopefully 2 Yearly with 12 Month Check ups!
