    First Hawaii for me for an age....+0.12 O's......:D.....:eek:
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    Nice day here throughout, and 5.12 O's. But monthly total still poor, and most of today will be grey.

    Funnily enough the WNW is almost hanging on to 100%, but the much bigger ESE is dragging the overall average down to about 90%.

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    Funny old day here, lots of sharp peaks almost reaching 4kW, even more troughs dipping below 1kW. Daily total was approx. 20.5kWh but looking at the 'saw tooth curve' and optimistically filling in the blanks it could so easily have been 30+

    So that is my 1 year anniversary as of midday. According to the inverter I made 104% of PVGIS. Anyone else with 12 months-to-date at their finger tips to give me a feel of how I fared? I suspect TGM will show about 101-102%.

    As far as June is concerned, hoping to surpass April total by the end of the day which will only leave me 15Os needed in the last 2 days of the month for PVGIS....
    I think....

    I need 4 O's a day now for PVGIS which is better than it looked mid way through June. Today I am likely to exceed and get a little in the bank but the next couple of days could go either way.

    Looking at my gen from 29/6/15 to 28/6/16, it's ~100.6%. One of the poorest periods for me so far.
