    Certainly better down south then.

    Except for actually having to live there!

    Only around 8 kWh for us yesterday, with a 3.96 kW system and a 25 degree roof pitch. Hopeless roof pitch in the winter, but great in the summer.

    My lecturer would go mental at the terminology used in this thread!!!!

    The rating of your PV systems is xx kWp

    At any instant in time it produces yy kW

    During any specific period it produces zz kWh

    Now you have all had your final warnings; any more errors and it will be 200 lines each and you will be kept in after school until they are completed!!!!

    A fair point, perhaps, but a professor of English might be unhappy at the exclamation marks.

    Notably there's been no sign here of any of the fog I've seen mentioned on the national weather forecasts.

    2.22 kWp system, north east Essex

    7 kWh produced yesterday - only had the panels 3 weeks, this was the best day so far.

    Having my in-home monitor unit installed today, so I'll be able to keep a better eye on what is being generated (I don't do lofts!)

    That sounds excellent. What is your roof angle and orientation?
