2,073kwh Until I looked at grahamc2003 & kevinG post's I thought my system had broken (phew). Like you grahamc2003 my inverter dropped out.

Actually a good illustration of sunlight vs daylight - two consecutive days so virtually the same length, one of continuous sunshine and one of continuous cloud and the sunny day generated over 13 times as much power.From the sublime to the ... 0.81kWh.

You self evidently have a system very similar to mine - what sort of mains voltages are being reported by your inverter?
Martyn reports this as the maximum 0f the mains:
My Aurora inverter has reported several mains readings of 254 & 255V ( plus some mysterious periods of suddenly generating nothing on the yellow graph)?
Hi John,
Slight delay in getting back to you; I would not believe any numbers the Aurora gives me. It is more 'economical with the truth' than a 'politician' is. Power One are supposed to be updating their inverters via sending their own engineers out as soon as they can figure out what is wrong with the firmware in them. They know they are incorrect and sometimes miss days completely - showing no gen. for the odd day here and there. The inverter records an average of 242 volts. Although the inverter is set for the correct date; the monitor gives it as being one day ahead, i.e. today registers as Tue 24th. (This was caused with Feb this year having 29 days.) Hence, to me, the whole Inverter - Monitor are just toys! :rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
