Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

I'd really like to have a go at claiming for my lost income (not hopeful but at least it will cost them a bit to tell me hard luck
). Is there anyone reasonably local to me who could share their daily figures for Mon, Tues & (later of course) Wed with me so that I can demonstrate a correlation for Mon & Wed then calculate my losses for today ?
Better day today 2.56 O's.......

There was no free electricity !
The kWp figure refers only to the potential to generate; my losses need to be expressed in kWh.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
Is it really worth it Eric?
If it helps though, my combined ESE & SSW(4kWp total) generated 10.5kWh yesterday and 10kWh today. Don't have a crystal ball handy so you'll have to wait for Wednesdays.but your Tues one was pretty close to mine and I'd have guessed that we had a spectacularly better Wed morning here than Tuesday's - albeit followed by a poor afternoon so a similar total sounds about right.

It would have been more helpful if you'd read the posting you've quoted !

Okay, but you did save, as you had no electric supply to use, so you must have had a cheaper day than normal.....:rotfl:..:rotfl:..
