    A shade over 200kwh for the month on day 16 and now 50kwh behind target. Forecast is dull until July. At this rate I am going to struggle to match March let alone April and definelty not May

    3.15 O's yesterday. Am also nearly 40kwh behind forecast. Looking at the weather I cannot see me catching up for the remainder of the Month. I think I may make March, but April and May are also looking like a struggle. :(
    Was really hoping for a good June/July and August.

    No the new Inverter didn`t fix the problem, it really looks like water ingress into the connections is the issue.
    But his system is over 2 years old so if nothing else atleast he got a new inverter out of it!

    A new inverter won't help him much if the panels are producing nothing !

    Doubtful if the new inverter will come with a new, full-term warranty ! He really needs to look at the PVGIS website, get a good idea of what generation their incompetence has cost him and submit a claim for the FIT payments that he's missed.

    Been a messy last week, no good days, but at least not too bad. Target is slipping a bit, predicting 97%, as 20kWh behind.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
