Seagull, what a difference a few miles makes, well more than a few. Been grotty(ish) all day, but still pulled a 10. Can't predict, read or judge this month. Might just give up and wait for May.
Still running pretty much spot on target, so a few good or bad days will throw the average off, or balance it out beautifully, who knows, I certainly don't!
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.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.0 -
16.9 Kwh here. But it really wasn't a very good day.
Looking at my generation curve, you can visualise the 'normal distribution' I ought to have had but there are huge dips spoiling that. Without the clouds I'd probably be reporting 25ish
Maxxed out at 3.7Kw several times between 12 & 3 but dipped to 0.4 at (true) noon.
Still, it was a whole lot better than advance weather forecast. That was supposed to be several sunny intervals before lunch and 100% cloud afterward.

70% here in the sunshine and showers of North Buckinghamshire so on schedule to reach this month's PVGIS target however it will fall well below last year's bumper April generation.0
