Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

East 11 + West 2.4. They should be roughly 2:1 so take a guess at the weather here today.

Met Office maps for Sept are ready:-

I suspect no surprises.

Sunny mornings suit us best too :-)

Sunshine map is consistent with our performance against PVGIS. Slightly surprised that the rainfall for Sept was only up to 150% of average considering we had a month's worth of rain in one 24hr period.

As indeed did we. However, we also had three weeks in September with no rain at all so half a typical month's rainfall in the rest of the one rainy week seems about right.

FWIW, our Sept generation was 18.9% up on pvgis forecast which isn't wildly different to last year when Sept figs were 19.9% above pgis.

I've long believed that Sept & Oct offer rather nicer weather than our alleged 'summer' months. In the days when I could choose to take holidays outside the school holiday peaks I'd always take them around now.

Well, today we've clocked up 3434 kWh generated since 19th Oct 2011. That was the estimate from the MCS certificate and PVGIS figures.

Today was day 320 - 87.4% of the first year gone so far.

We've more than 6 weeks to go until the actual anniversary, so let's hope they are very sunny & we make the most of the extra "bonus" generation.

The FiT earned so far is just short of £ 1 595.

By the way, our Fronius inverter is showing less than 15kWh more than our generation meter - under 0.4% variation for more than 10 months, not bad I'd say.

Hi,

We recently had 10 solar panels installed by a local company based in Wakefield,West Yorkshire. Good service, professional and friendly. System seems to be performing well. Installer was Medoria Solar.

Congrats, but .... wasn't yesterday day 350? I really need to get a life, or buy a new anorak with sown in mittens that prevent me from typing this drivel!

Edit: Just read your autosig - ignore me. I'm off to write down some train numbers. M.

Good spot Mart, saved me the bother of replying... [Edit] Oh... It was jkpaul's typo

We're marginally behind you, with 3396 kWh generation so far against 2951 SAP, 3200 PVGIS-Classic & 3260kWh PVGIS Climate-SAF. 17 days to go then - I don't count the generation from the commissioning day as it was very late in the day when we went live. Currently 6.1% above PVGIS-Classic and hoping to beat it by 9-10% for the whole year.

A paltry 4kwh today but offset by 19 kwh yesterday (and today was meant to be sunny!)
