    Hit the target for April - but my roof orientation, pitch and geopositioning gives a target which is on the lower side. The estimate Comes To 3.1MW for a yr.

    Very similar here. I've generated 10kWh before Noon and need another 9kWh to meet the PVGIS forecast. But I'm not expecting to do it - the sky has just clouded in and we've had a rain shower.


    I'd query your use of 'profit' though. I only need to make a pound a day to cover costs and have already earnt five.

    Have today finally confirmed that my system is facing 10 degrees West from South and also found my original paper work that shows I have a 6% shading issue from the house next door.

    A a result of these figures I will reduce my estimates from 21 May 2016 when my system will be 2 years old.
