I have a similar feeling; weather is so warm now that the 1kW heater I was using makes the house far too hot; so I put it in the garden to increase the 'Global Warming'....
5.84 O's today....:D2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Is it me, or is it a little bit warm?
Current targets and generation
Target 21kWh's 3.76 Os
4th - 21.3 - 3.82
5th - 31.1 - 5.57
6th - 30.6 - 5.48
7th - 31.3 - 5.61
If forecast stays true, then same again today and another 8 days in the pipeline. Overheating here, and the water butts are running down fast.
Mart.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.

We've had a few days in Scotland so haven't been reporting lately.
30/6 22.944
1/7 16.928
2/7 8.349
3/7 12.548
4/7 20.496
5/7 25.285
6/7 26.883
7/7 26.37
Week 136.9
July Forecast 436 kWh
7 days worth = 98.45
so first 7 days July are 39% up on forecast
Let's hope that rest of July & August match that.
No problems with water yet. Tanks were 96% full last Monday and of course still are so we can put up with 6 weeks of drought. May have to start watering greenhouse with tap water before that though as garden tanks aren't quite so healthy.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Not quite so good today - 'only' 23.26 kWh Never got much above 3.3 kW and a cloudy spell around noon dropped to 1.4 kW
But at least we've used a lot of it this week ! Two loads of washing, water pumping and cooked a meal plus the 750W of immersion heating will have been on most of day.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

How old are you? Hot flushes, you may have to put it down to "the change of life"....:rotfl:

Nothing to do with "the system" - you probably didn't have the 2 hour cloudy interval just after noon.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
Fingers crossed we might beat 20kWh today, comfortably beating our previous best of 17.57kWh two weeks ago.0
