Hawaii + 1.17 (24.51 kWh) still producing. Lost around 3-4 kWh between 9 and 11:30 due to clouds!
Still best day of the Year! and about 5% up on my est.3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -
'Twas not to be - 6.06 Os, just a little too early in the year for a record. Two days last week were better.Pretty good weekend with 5.87 and 4.87 Os but today is looking seriously promising and I reckon there's a chance of approaching my all-time record (6.6 Os on 3 May 2014).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-2022.0 -

Oooops, sorry Sterling, that could be down to me; spoke with EnergyHive on Friday, to let them know that the 'Power Today' on Wattson was not updating in real time as it should.
A/an Hawaii + 1.16 O's for me today, excuse me; but Mrs O has just decided to do the Ironing; would you believe that ? Just watch my import figure go up, 'cos you still can't see the 'Power Today'......:mad:..

So close, so very, very close. Hawaii was visible on the horizon for the first time this year, but my systems dropped anchor before landfall could be made:
27.5kWh or 4.93 Os.
I've noticed that loads of you guys (and gals) are getting 6+, but nobody is brave enough to mention a maiden!
Are you all to scared of 'certain' registers to state you had a maiden, have been chasing a maiden all day, have been loitering in the vicinity of a maiden, thought you had a maiden in your sights but just failed to get your hands on one.
I'll stop now.
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.0 -
I think I will round my O's - sorry - to one decimal place as that means I have 5.0 - haha.
If I do that 2 decimal place thing I am 0.09kWh short, leaving me with 4.98 O's.0 -

Ah, wondered what the word was. Hoping for a Maiden today!0 -
All this sun and I'm still sat in a hospital bed waiting to get my ankle fixed. At least i can console myself with the fact I'm earning nearly £15 a day while I'm sat here. Just hope the wife is doing her bit to try and use as much as possible of the generated juice:o2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0
