    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...

    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:T

    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:
  • The day's not worth a calculation. November scored 83.7 out of a 145 target PVGIS. 58%.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    According to the BBC weather forecast, i will not see the sun until friday.
    4kWp, South facing, 16 x phono solar panels, Solis inverter, Lincolnshire.
  • 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.

    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.

    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.
    75% of pvgis for us.
    I think....

    So would I - except that original post contained a typo ! Monthly gen was even worse at 80 kWh (so 35% was correct) :mad:
