Three days to report and no intermedaite readings so a bit of guesswork needed.For the three days, 12.21kWh which is 4.49 O's - so roughly 1.5 O's per day?October's summary:207kWh generated (76.3 O's, 130% 🥳 of PVGIS), 110kWh imported, 45kWh exported. Plus 25m3 of gas (vs. about 31m3 for October 2021).As mentioned previously, I've beaten PVGIS for the year and this could have been my best October ever (noting my records before 2021 are unreliable).N.

2.04 O's today, so almost double Nov ave.Graig Fatha's generation for October was 418 kWh's, 117% of calculated monthly ave for the year. Previous best was April at 282 kWh's. It's currently blowing near gale force here and likely to end the day topping 30 kWh's, matching that of yesterday. So November off to an impressive start!Forgot to mention that the UK record for energy generated by wind farms was broken earlier today at 21 GW's servicing 51% of the nations energy demand. It's above the 50% mark now although no idea if it's dipped below in between.East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical. Nissan Leaf plus Zappi charger and 2 x ASHP's.
