Best day so far this year, with a healthy 31.1kWh, 5.6 Os. May projection getting healthier and almost closing in on 100%. Tomorrow looks good, but Monday may knock it back down again.
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

Maiden + 0.38 (25.36 kWh) Best day of the month and 3rd best of the year.
Did peak above the system rating at 4.1 kW lasted over 15 mins. It sure helps having sun and wind. Amazed at the total with all the clouds we had here.
As I type this my monthly total has just reached last Sept total exactly to 3 decimal places. 272.922
My total since instalation is 3989 kWh so should pass 4 MW today. Still have 8 days left of my 1st year of production.3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -
