Wind 11ah (all month but mainly over 2 days)

But best of all

Genny/engine run hours NIL :rolleyes:

This years stats so far can be found HERE

Blimey Richard that's extremely thorough and dead useful.
How did you collect the stats? Have you got your system hooked up to a computer?

What kind of PV panels have you got?
RichardW

Nah the solar stats are collected by the solar charge controller (an Outback FX80) which keeps the data for 180 days rolling.
The wind from an amphour meter, the battery SOC from a Smartgauge & the genny run time from its hour meter. I have just added a mains meter to see exactly how much "mains" we are using & will be adding one to the genny feed so as well as run hours I can see actual power made / used.

I can also live monitor the solar amps, wind amps (and amp hours), battery charge & discharge amps, volts at various points & the water temp from a bank of meters in the living room.

They are just some cheap (but have good specs) from ebay at £2.72 per watt which is a good price.

Did consider the computer monitor route but dint want the constant power drain or to raise the total power used as its been a slog to get it to less than 3kwh per day.
RichardW

Just for info If the site was better IE no shade & the panels due south & at the right angle I should get about 7kwh on a good day.
