    My SSW came in at 3.3 O's yesterday, managed a quick glance at my WNW inverter around 8ish and that had done 10kWh(4 O's) and the sun was out and it was still knocking out 1.4kWh even at that time. Not bad considering it bounced down till midday

    How selfish is that?

    Much better. Now to be truly selfish you will have to keep an eye on the export meter.

    Only just joined us and already throwing up dodgy figures!!!!

    General question: How accurate is your inverter?

    :eek:

    My inverter under reads by just under 1% hence the realistic upgrade

    Gen meter is outside down the side of the house which I won't be going to every night

    So the inverter is inside and the gen meter is outside?

    Thats.......different!?

    It would make it easier to read than going up in the loft.

    My generation meter is in the Garage! But its only about 6 inches from the Inverter so it makes sense!
