  • 6.0kWh Sat & same Sunday. Today though has been a stinker 0.545kWh (0.15 kWh/kWp).

    Total generation at our anniversary yesterday was 3539.7kWh which exceeded SAP [2951kWh] by 20.0%, PVGIS-Classic [3200kWh] by 10.6% and PVGIS Climate-SAF [3260kWh] by 8.6%. When I have time I'll do more number crunching on the annual figures and savings/earnings.

    Well I managed a massive 0.73kWh today, more than expected actually. I've noted before that fog has less of an effect on generation than thick cloud and so it proved.

    1.4kWh - Ouch! And tomorrow looks like more of the same.

    @Eric - don't really mind if it's your seaweed, or just on loan, but could you please run outside and do a sun dance regardless? Pretty please? :)

    No!

    But if I could perhaps I'd have seen a lot more today. My 898Wh no doubt seems huge to you but I'd have earnt more than 44p/day if I'd left the money in the bank.
