Yes, I had a look at it.. quite good..... but it does'nt say Sunny all day with no clouds now if you can find a website which says Sun in Sheffield with no sign of clouds I would be really interesting
I am sitting at work thinking "shall I phone Npower to see when they will send me the contract for FiTs payment. Then thinking what's the point they will just say we recieved paper work on such a date and just have to wait for the contract... arrrrrgggggg"

Power was back around 10pm Tues and no probs since.
Wed 25th 10.04
Today 26th 17.2 kWh though still generating a little
Leaving for Scotland before I start generating tomorrow and not expecting to post here before Monday - by which time the East London Rainmaking Ceremonies will be in full swing and we'll be having discussions about the good old days when we saw the sun occasionally.
Almost 3 weeks to go till first anniversary. 3200 kWh generated so far so maybe we'll get to 3500 in first year (or maybe not !). PVGIS forecast 3240 for a 'typical' year so every chance of beating that.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
Hi
At 12.20pm it got to 1 kwh.. Still generating 4w. So total for today 8.60kwh

A fairly respectable 11.83kWh today - thought it might just beat yesterday but the temperature was a bit of a killer again.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0

20kWh on the nose today, nudging our 7 day average up to 20.8kWh (equalling our record). Forecast has changed now and no rain expected until Sunday.
Just nudged our noses ahead of PVGIS pro-rata this month, less than 50kWh needed to hit July target over next 5 days. I reckon we could even beat it by 5-10%.Cider Country Solar PV generator: 3.7kWp Enfinity system on unshaded SE (-36deg azimuth) & 45deg roof0 -
