    I was on holiday for 2 weeks and came back on 23rd, looked at the figures and didn't think I'd make PVGIS. In the end I romped in with 355Kwh which is 108% above so that's my first 3 complete months now all well above PVGIS. :j:beer:

    Being slightly pedantic, I suspect you mean 8% above, otherwise that is definitely an all-time record for the known universe! :)

    Hi All, not visited for a while, sorry. End of September was day 100 after my install and pleased to say I have generated 1176kwhs in my first 100 days from my 3.5kw system.

    I have exceeded PVGIS every month so far and am currently running at about 9% more than PVGIS predicted overall (for the period, but August was just 2kwhs over). So far, so good, but I know it's variable.

    Just submitted my first meter reading, looking forward to the cash hitting the bank!!

    Thanks for all the advice team.

    Blasted through PVGIS this month, makes me wonder if I am doing my calcs correctly as I am 25% up on PVGIS!
    PVGIS for September is 350kWh, I hit almost 437kWh!

    Currently sat watching my (fairly inaccurate Wattson) showing -2.8kW (Grid) wondering, 'what else can I do'. House work, washing, ironing, dishwasher, etc. all done. Diverter finished diverting and a full tank of hot water. Got the computer, tv and hi-fi on just to burn some leccy!
    Would mow the lawn but the grass is wet.. doh!

    Just checked the leccy meter and we have used (grid) exactly 100 units, usually we use about 350 units!
    Nice!
