    Not a great June, got 543kWh against 634kWh target (86%).

    Very odd mix of weather meant very different performances from my two orientations:-

    ESE 3.58kWp 335kWh v's 417kWh target. 80% and 93.58 Os.
    WNW 2kWp 217kWh v's 208kWh target. 96% and 104 Os.

    Not uncommon for the WNW to beat the ESE in % against target, as it has the SolarEdge kit. But very rare for it to come out on top in kWh/kWp (Os).

    Import 74kWh.

    [120kWh shy of 20MWh, about 6 average July days - weather forecast suggests it will take quite a bit longer :(]

    Mart.
    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.

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

    11Os (9.3%) below PVGIS almost exactly cancelling out May's extra generation.
    I think....

    Shocking month!

    Best day was 6/6, with my only maiden of the month - 24.126kWh
    Worst was 1/6 at 2.479kWh

    June 2014 471.379/438 = 107.62%
    June 2015 537.731/438 = 122.77%
    June 2016 396.334/438 = 90.49%

    But like for like periods (22/3 to 30/6) give

    2014 - 1357kWh
    2015 - 1619kWh
    2016 - 1483kWh

    Swing, meet roundabout!

    So not all bad, but just wondering if we had our summer in May??!!
