9.06kWh today and, as I said last Saturday, best day until next year? It couldn't have been a lot sunnier. September has now beaten June.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

Lucky you
I did 274.4 kWh in June, only 246.7 kWh so far for September; need 27.8kWh tomorrow to beat June; what do you reckon; fat or slim? :rotfl:
10.5kWh today, fat chance to get above 11kWh tomorrow. :j2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Got 10 + 5 today, and still clinging on to 105% of target for September. In fact I'd need -9 tomorrow to close below, so I guess 'that'll do pig, that'll do'.
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.

6.4kWh Friday and an 18.1kWh yesterday (of which 8.5kwh went into the hot water tank thanks to the ImmerSUN).
Bit of a grey day in Cider Country today so doubt we'll get into double figures, but we're already 22.5% ahead of PVGIS Classic for September so can't complain.Cider Country Solar PV generator: 3.7kWp Enfinity system on unshaded SE (-36deg azimuth) & 45deg roof0 -
12.11kWh for yesterday
341kWh for Sept

September generation was well above PVGIS prediction and slightly higher than in 2011.
September 2012 solar generation was 120.51% of PVGIS
September 2012 solar generation was 104.44% of September 2011
2012 year-to-date solar generation is 103.32% of PVGIS
2012 year-to-date solar generation is 96.97% of 2011 year-to-date

4.3 kWh today:mad:. 251 kWh for September = 29% above PVGIS SAP and 99% of SAP so far for my year ending 22nd of November 2012.:T
SAP seems to give a higher expectation; so I will buy that. :rotfl: Don't want a false sense of security

A fairly uninspiring 2.95kWh today but a September total of 203.9kWh, 33.3% above PVGIS Classic and 17.2% above PVGIS Climate, so a really good month.
