    9.06kWh today and, as I said last Saturday, best day until next year? It couldn't have been a lot sunnier. September has now beaten June.
    2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.

    Lucky you :) I did 274.4 kWh in June, only 246.7 kWh so far for September; need 27.8kWh tomorrow to beat June; what do you reckon; fat or slim? :rotfl:

    10.5kWh today, fat chance to get above 11kWh tomorrow. :j

    Got 10 + 5 today, and still clinging on to 105% of target for September. In fact I'd need -9 tomorrow to close below, so I guess 'that'll do pig, that'll do'.

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW)

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

  • 6.4kWh Friday and an 18.1kWh yesterday (of which 8.5kwh went into the hot water tank thanks to the ImmerSUN).

    Bit of a grey day in Cider Country today so doubt we'll get into double figures, but we're already 22.5% ahead of PVGIS Classic for September so can't complain.

  • September generation was well above PVGIS prediction and slightly higher than in 2011.

    September 2012 solar generation was 120.51% of PVGIS
    September 2012 solar generation was 104.44% of September 2011

    2012 year-to-date solar generation is 103.32% of PVGIS
    2012 year-to-date solar generation is 96.97% of 2011 year-to-date

    PV Output
  • 4.3 kWh today:mad:. 251 kWh for September = 29% above PVGIS SAP and 99% of SAP so far for my year ending 22nd of November 2012.:T
    SAP seems to give a higher expectation; so I will buy that. :rotfl: Don't want a false sense of security ;).

    A fairly uninspiring 2.95kWh today but a September total of 203.9kWh, 33.3% above PVGIS Classic and 17.2% above PVGIS Climate, so a really good month. Off to submit my quarterly reading at scottishpower.co.uk/fitread :)

    Don't forget to take your panels with you, plus a l-o-n-g extension lead.
