Cracking day today. Best yet this year!
2.67 O's
Bike will be out as it is most days come rain or shine. The only thing that stops me is ice or high winds.
Yep, I will be on mine again in the morning, come rain shine or frost, wouldn't miss it....
1.2 O's today, gleaming....

O for a thousand Os! (Cue hymn)
I was ecstatic with 824 Os. If I got a 1,000 I'd probably have to have a lie down in a dark room for a month and a half!
Poor start to January, no good weather yet. As the saying goes in coastal Cardiff - 'Red sky at night, shepherds delight. Red sky in morning, WSM pier's on fire.'

1.1 O's in North Lincs
A decent day for the time of year.4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North LincsInstalled June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh0 -
First time posting in the new year, so I thought I'd post last years generation.
Installation was on the 2nd of September so no surprise that's lower than expected and it looked like I wasn't going to make the PVGIS estimate for the year after a terrible November. Thankfully we had an absolute spectacular December, far exceeding PVGIS expectations and more than November which more than made up for it....
Long may it exceed expectations in the future....4 Kwp System, South Facing, 35 Degree Pitch, 16 x 250W Solarworld Panels, SMA Sunnyboy 3600 Inverter, Installed 02/09/14 in Sunny South Bedford - £5600

Actually, I'm in counter-phase to some other posters. Yesterday was dreadful with the Centre of England of fog, but today I reached 1.15 Os.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0
