    Squeezed out a Hawaii - just....5.04

    Interestingly the inverter claims total output about 2.5% higher than the meter - is this normal?

    Yep! Well, normal, in the sense that the inverter is only a guide, and so can vary a bit. 2 of mine report less than the TGM, and the third reports more, varying from -2.5% to +1%.

    Got 3 O's today, hot and humid, lots of threatening clouds, but dry enough for a quick mow, to use up a little generation.

    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.

    You can't trust most inverters; mine sometimes adds up two days in a row...:rotfl:

    Share? That word went out of my vocabulary when I realised that 99.999% of the population were hass oles. Luckily, we seem to have the 0.001% of the good guys on this thread.

    A/an Hawaii today + 0.32 O's...coffee.gif

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