    Same here, got 18.6kWh today (3.33Os), taking us 13 over target. Predicting 112% at the moment, and the next 3 days look to be better than average ..... maybe, possibly, hopefully!

    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.

    Hi guys

    Newbie here, had my 4k system installed on 15 sept, 16x 250 panels, trannergy invertor.
    I have so far in 10 days generated 151kwh , would you say that was good? My best day was 16 sept where i got 24kwh. Live in W Yorks, south facing, no shade.

    Firstly, welcome to the funny farm!

    That's averaging 15kW per day, when for me at least, Pvgis forecast average daily is 10.9kW.

    It's early days yet for you, but so far I think you've done ok!

    Not too bad a day with 4.28 O's..... +13% of PVGIS this month todate.....coffee.gif
    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).
