Really bad month in not-sunny Wiltshire.
Worst month so far since install of the first system in June 2013.
Only 93kWh from a target of 171kWh. :eek:
On the slightly good side, my import was only 4% up on last year...0 -

My worst ever day! since installation! :mad:
Peak production of 0.089 kW at 10:00 :rotfl:
Ended the month on 116 kWh 70.73 %
Lets hope I can repeat the 156 kWh I had last December!
On the plus side still upto 4082 kWh for 2015 :T:j:T3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -
My worst day was 23 December 2013 - 113Wh, or 0.03 Os from just the 3500Wp system at that time. It was so dark we had the lights on all day, just to add insult to injury!:rotfl:0

The day's not worth a calculation. November scored 83.7 out of a 145 target PVGIS. 58%.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0

My first full month at 98.49kwh which is about 70% of PVGIS. Going on an average of what we would normally use, I saved around 35kwh on elec and diverted 38kwh to the hot water.0

As I'm sure everyone else will probably find too, November was a disaster with just 80 kWh rather than the PVGIS estimate of 122.5; i.e. almost 35% below expectations.
But mustn't grumble, that's still >£40 in the piggy bank vs lost interest of just over £15. Alas, every chance that Dec & Jan will be even worse so looking forward to Feb.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
I'd call that 27% below but...silver lining is that although it has been cloudy it has also been in the top 5 warmest Novembers ever so overall energy usage (and thus cost) for most will be down enough to more than make up for the solar shortfall financially.As I'm sure everyone else will probably find too, November was a disaster with just 89 kWh rather than the PVGIS estimate of 122.5; i.e. almost 35% below expectations.

75% of pvgis for us.I think....0 -
So would I - except that original post contained a typo ! Monthly gen was even worse at 80 kWh (so 35% was correct) :mad:I'd call that 27% below but...silver lining is that although it has been cloudy it has also been in the top 5 warmest Novembers ever so overall energy usage (and thus cost) for most will be down enough to more than make up for the solar shortfall financially.
