    I thought this would be a stormer of a day ..... but it petered out around 2.30pm.


    Still clocked in 4.3 O's and saved nearly 13kw via the iBoost.


    4Kw's to go till I meet this months PVGIS - system looks as though it will easily beat the 3600 annual target.

    Looks like the cloud hit the county slightly earlier for you. Shame it was solid when it got here.

    Hope you have great sun during the year.

    I was predicting 4400 last year around the end of Sept and ended the year of 2015 with 4156 Oct - Dec very bad.

    You just never know!

    3600 seems a low figure for 4.2 kW?
