So typically what are you getting right now in KW's i am trying to gauge what i will be able to run when i get my install in 2 weeks time.

Afraid that information is site specific !

You don't seem to tell us where you are so nobody can actually say "I'm just a few miles way from you and getting such & such so you can hope to do the same".

Also, bear in mind that what anyone (even your own next door neighbour !) is getting today is likely to be drastically reduced over the next couple of weeks and will keep dropping until Xmas.

Your best bet is to look at the FAQs page and follow the link to PVGIS forecasts where you'll be able to input your own details and get a better forecast than any answer here could possibly give you.

Newbie in the solar panel world, installed last tuesday and checking the output every now and then on both solaredge and pvoutput
As per PVGIS my target for november is 110Kwh and I achieved 100% daily target for today which is 3.667KWh

Sorry to dampen your enthusiasm but today is only the First of November. Simple Physical Geography should tell you that daily sunshine levels can be expected to reduce every day until the Winter Solstice - hence you need to be well above the November average today to make up for being well below it on the 30th.

Aware of that but the panels were in shade when the sun was out and the oak tree will soon be shedding its leaves, so its a bit more complicated than simple law of averages :cool:
generated 6.5 KWh yesterday

Any one tried mirrors to reflect light on to their panels.

Got 238kWh against target of 227kWh, so not bad.

ESE 106% of target
WNW 102%
Import was 144kWh

Weirdly, October seems to be my most boring month, for complete years I've had 227, 225, 219 & 238!

Back from my jollies in the morning, I'll try and bring some of this tenerife sun back with me.
Wish I could have brought the panels out here. :rotfl:
No figures to report and don't care (till tomoz..lol)
