    Not as good as most people, but a respectable 12.26kWh or 3.4 O's yesterday.
    The Yo-yo continues with another gloomy day for today, so not holding out hope for as much.
    Need 43kWh or about 12 O's over the next 4 days to hit PVGIS which is looking less likely, but at least the gap closed from somewhere in the eighty precents to the nineties.

    Disappointed to say 0 yesterday, 0 today. Roll on the new inverter :)
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
