    Scraped an O, just. What a miserable day, and weather remains mixed for another week.

    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    2.16 O's yesterday.:(:(:(
    3.96 kWp System, SSE Facing, 30 Degree Pitch, 12 x 330W BenQ Panels, Solar Edge Inverter, Lincoln, Lincolnshire. Installed 26th May 2015.
  • Well on the down side this month is below PVGIS for me (probably by about 20kwh by the end of the day) but on the plus side my system anniversary is also today and my annual production is up by 10% on what PVGIS predicted so a double edged day really:beer:

    I am currently really happy with my investment in Solar PV (Just wish I'd done it sooner:D).

    3.15 O's today. 4.8 needed tomorrow for PVGIS - looks unlikely though.

    Still (technically) generating - but only at 1W. I guess I can use present reading for end of month :D

    404W against PVGIS forecast of 459 means I'm 12% down. But taken together, a great May & poor June mean that actual for the 2 months is close to forecast.


    Anything can happen in June ! June 2012 was 14% down, June 2015 was 23% up.
