Hawaii here also.
5.23 O's (20.5 kWh)0 -
I hope the forecast for the next few days is as pessimistic as today's was - a most unexpected 5.74 Os today. Whatever happens this will be my best April ever (sadly I just missed the sensational April 2011). 11 Hawaiis (or more) so far.

There was a 5.8 here today, with 6.5 on tuesday and the same again yesterday. That's 11 Hawaiis so far this month in Sunny Sussex, but (in contrast to Rosyth) that's only 93% of my PVCIS for April. So what's happening? Should I move my panels nearer the Arctic Circle?O G :cool: Somewhere on the South Downs

Considering I'm south east facing, caught some rays yesterday finishing with 15.31 kWh or not enough for a nap!
This morning is lovely and bright, although clouds to the south so not sure what the day is going to bring!4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.

The mist must have cleared quicker where you are.
Anyway, I'm now 4kWh over the April PVGIS estimate so happy days!:cool:4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North LincsInstalled June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh0 -
Im going to call today early. Very misty start so 3.7 Os today.!So what's happening? Should I move my panels nearer the Arctic Circle?
We have probably been lucky with some good days giving higher figures. I have noticed I had some better days while those to the south had variable conditions. Plus the east coast is usually pretty good for sun. I lost count how often I would leave the east in glorious sun to hit dull and rain in the central/west region when I used to commute across country.2.43 from 9 x 270 Trina panels. Samil solar river 2600 inverter. Due South. 30 pitch. East coast of Scotland just North of Forth bridge.0 -
Still kicking out 220w, but my gen meter tells me we have 20.66 kWh, or a 5 o plus change in the bag!
Weather over the next few days doesn't look promising though, so I'm just going to drink myself sunny!4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
