After quite a few middling days had another record for our system at 22.4kW or 6.2 O's. On track for about 105% of PV-GIS by the end of the month.The bright sun and chill in the air had my eldest excitedly speculating if we'll break 7 O's this week. I think she's a bit optimistic, but it's great she's so engaged, and we already hit 1O today by nine am.Had our lowest import yet as well at 1.2kWh which was nice. A combination of generation lasting past half eight and an early bedtime.3.6 kW PV in the Midlands - 9x Sharp 400W black panels - 6x facing SE and 3x facing SW, Solaredge Optimisers and Inverter. 400W Derril Water (one day).
