3.3 O's today - Suffolk has not been fortunate with weather.
The cut off had tripped on the thermostat - reset and back to diverting POWERRRRRRRRR to tank via iBoost (was constantly showing water HOT - even though the water was freezing cold!!!)

My 'super duper' days are just over 6 O's.
I remember (way back) that the holy grail for a domestic system was 30kWh (based on 4kWp). So that's 7.5 O's in new money.
I think someone got that, but not sure. And we do have a name for 8, potato I think, but not sure anyone here has got one.
On the Navitron forum I've seen a domestic eight, but from a ground mount system, so slightly better cooling.
Dredging back through my memory I seem to remember June 2014 was surprisingly cold, so maybe someone got 7.5 or 8 back then?
Back to reality, and May is just above target so far, and hoping for a 600 month. Heading closer to 20MWh by mid June. [Edit: Oops, meant mid July. M.]
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.

I've managed a 7.75 O day on my ESE, I generated 15.2kWh and my ESE is actually 1.96kWp, unfortunately my ESE roof has got a small hip on the south side of it, had it not I'm pretty sure I'd have achieved the hOly gr8t.Martyn1981 wrote: »I remember (way back) that the holy grail for a domestic system was 30kWh (based on 4kWp).

My system is nearing its 1st Birthday :T (actually 10 months)
Had five 6.0+ O's and all in this year - my panels dont kick in till 10 am due to Roof orientation and sun's position this time of the year and it will only get worse with my Neighbours house (shading) going into the summer.
I surely will run around the house naked if i hit a 7 O's
Anyway, 3.9 O's today“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu
