    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    0.7 combined O's for me, even I'm hoping our friend across the border in Wales can helpsmiley-scared002.gif

    Not today I'm afraid. Managed an O plus some scraps with 5.9kWh.

    Thought it was going to be a good day, but forecast changed when I looked this morning. Hardly a forecast by then, more just a cast, as in 'cast your eyes out the window at all the grey cloud'. :p

    More of the same for the next 2 days.

    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Mine was very close too:D

    Generation meter said 13.5kWh. Wattson read 13.54:T

    Bearing in mind, the gen meter only reads to 1 decimal place:)
