Have to say that for the peak part of the day I was quite disappointed that we didn't seem to have any direct sunlight. However, daily total was 21 kWh which is a very respectable figure.
Suspect that at this time of year my shallow slope scores a double whammy in getting more direct sunlight than anyone with a conventional 45deg roof could expect AND picks up a lot of energy from bright clouds directly overhead.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Well I have suffered quite a bit recently with my predominately West facing system and most of the sun being in the mornings and then clouding over in the afternoons. But yesterday for once was the reverse and the afternoon and evening sun moved things along nicely. Was producing up until 9.15pm. So a total of 6.1 O's and now need only 2.9 O's a day to reach estimate for the first time. Perhaps it might really happen......Install 28th Nov 15, 3.3kW, (11x300LG), SolarEdge, SW. W Yorks.
Install 2: Sept 19, 600W SSE
