Ok day yesterday, with 4.7 O's. But poor start reflected in gen, with ESE at 14kWh or 3.9 Os, but boosting WNW to a mighty 12.1kWh or 6 Os.
The WNW gave one 12 in 2013, and none in 2014, but this is the second for 2015. :cool:
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 -

So first full year is up and I they mad 4150ish kWh. Today looks 24.4 kwh so far or 6.1 O's. Just a thought is it more difficult for those of us with 4kW systems to get high O numbers because our inverters are rated at 3.6 where someone with say a 2.5 Kw system can get an inverter to take full advantage of all their panels can dish out?16 x 250w mono 803 Eternity Panels, Aurora 3.6 inverter, owl intuition pv monitoring facing due south in sunny Norfolk.0

Best day of the year and 2nd best day since instalation.
Heaven + 0.13 (28.32 kWh)
I knew I should have gone and hosed down my panels last night. Had a great day with lots of high thin cloud, but clean panels may have brought me a SPUD!
12 miles away in Bridlington lots of cloud most of the day.3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -
Had a couple of 6 days
6.65 yesterday and 6.61 today. Today was completely cloudless and 23c and I almost got my perfect bell graph until haze light cloud turned up at 3pm.
I made the mistake of assuming a completely cloudless bright day would get me near 30kWh . It was simply too hot today.
Really pleased with panel performance so far.0 -
