Report on Solar Power Generation: October 2025
Greetings, everyone!
Back in October, I started generating electricity at home with a single solar panel. From now on, I plan to compile and share monthly reports with my results. I’ll continue to expand the system over time and, whenever possible, keep it focused on a DIY approach.
October was generally sunny and brought decent weather, although the days were already getting shorter, and my setup was far from optimized. Even so, with a single 610W panel paired with a microinverter, I managed to generate 29.33 kWh. At that time, I didn’t have a smart meter installed, so I couldn’t accurately say how much of that energy was consumed locally versus exported to the grid.
This was the first time I had installed a system, and by October, I still didn't have everything ready. I just hooked up the panel to the inverter and left it in the garden, horizontally on a flat surface. Despite this, I was impressed with the amount of energy generated!
Solar Panel Generation Graph for October 2025:
History of My Solar Reports:
| Month | Generated | Used | Exported | Imported | Installed Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2025 | 29.33 kWh | - | - | - | 610W (1x610W panel) |
History of My Investments:
| Month | Items | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| October 2025 | 1x solar panel (Canadian Solar 610W N-type TOPCon Bifacial) | €99.20 |
| 1x microinverter (EcoFlow STREAM Microinverter) | €94.05 |
It's interesting to see the report, but I would expect that part of that power was used right?
Yes, that's for sure. A sunny day means above 400 W instant power with my panel. Now that I have a smart meter, I can see that the typical load of my house is around 200 - 250W, which means that in the max peak hours, the house is fully on solar energy.
