Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Been just shy of 4.5 Os for the last 2 days (24.4 & 24.8kWh) overall, but the white/grey starts to the day then lovely sunny afternoons have boosted WNW generation to Hawaii's, with 5.2 & 5.4 Os.
Been behind for the whole of May so far, but only just, with current projection of 98%.
Andy, have you seen the rain forecast for tomorrow? 5am to 5pm with a massive peak at midday. I suspect tomorrow's gen won't be a record (high).
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 -

Yes, that's the deluge I was referring to. I've got no issue with rain at night, but right in the middle of generation time is outrageous!

Weather was a bit changeable this morning but the afternoon was magic.
Best day ever on WSW array but about one and a bit kWh down on best ever result on SSE array. However, still managed best day ever overall - 30.75 kWh or 5.85 O's - just loving it!
