The best days return however was last April at 2.05 O's, 33.5 kWh's for us. October is just 20 kWh's down on April with ten days still to run.I'll post a final month end figure come the time.S'funny how people can't understand why I wear such a huge grin on sunny days with gale force winds a blowing!East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical.

Funny how split gen yesterday was for folk on here. For a change I'm in the 'semi-decent' camp, with just over an O.
Month end projection now a very healthy 114%. Year end projection 107%, with ~101% in the bag already. So yet another + year. [PVGIS default losses of 14% is definitely a bit pessimistic. Then again, psychologically, I'd rather be over target, than under, despite the actual gen being the same.]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.
