    A reasonable weekend - 7.32kWh on Saturday and 6.48 on Sunday. PVGIS average daily forecast for October is 3.65 (classic) or 4.13 (climate). I'll be lucky to reach that for the rest of the week.
    2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.

    This is turning out to be a good month.

    Only 7 days gone and reached 41% of my target :)

    Fingers crossed the weather stays nice...

    Same here, 41% up to last night. A pathetic 1kWh so far today and the forecast says no hope of sun until Thursday :eek: Make hay while the sun shines jeepjunkie!

    Think I may have a record for today, even Shafeeq will better it, a total of 2.4 kWh, may be time to ask for a discount.:rotfl:

    I think we probably get the wooden spoon today: 1.988kWh (or 0.537kWh/kWp), but not quite as bad as 24th Sept (1.2kWh).

    I am beginning to think I may have been fairly lucky today (4kWp split E and W) as it seemed a dull day. 5.6 kWh today.

    I am beginning to feel maybe I should be pursuing my vendor for a bit of mis selling and I may be back here for advice, but I will raise it with them first.

    Evening. Depends what they put in writing in the quote, and what the figure is on your MCS cert.

    This time of year can be a bit disheartening, as the sun sets lower and lower, and begins to miss out more and more E + W. Ho hum! Still, the steep roofed Southers will be having fun!

    Still it's a bit of fun, and it'll be March again before you know it.

    Grey all day here, got East 2 and West 1.3. Looks like another 4 days of solid grey, then some nice days.

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
