Is everyone else heading for way below PVGIS forecasts this year, or should I take it personally? We seem to have had thick cloud overhead for 3/4 of the year. Looking like less than 3300kWh instead of the target 4560 (which we nearly made last year, despite it not being the best). Is it just down to the gloom, or should I get the solar surgeons out to see if they can find a problem?4.7kWp (12 * Hyundai S395VG) facing more or less S + 3.6kW Growatt inverter + 6.5kWh Growatt battery.
