Did you do better then yesterday?6.5 Os today. Noticeable reduction in peak output due to the heat today. Normally my system peaks at 3.75kw but today in spite of perfectly clear skies I got a peak of 3.19kw.
I only get 5.8 O's today, slightly worse then yesterday, which I assume is due to the heat.
Noticed was around 2.9 to 3.0kW during max hours, compared to yesterday when during the same period was at 3.0 to 3.1kW

5.7 O's today. Same as yesterday. A long slow plateau at 2.4 Kw so greatly affected by heat as expected.Install 28th Nov 15, 3.3kW, (11x300LG), SolarEdge, SW. W Yorks.

Boy oh boy it's hot!
ESE system peaking at 2.5kW (70%). Last two days have delivered 4.9 and 5.2 Os. July prediction now at 102%.
Weather forecast says the temp will rise till 4pm peaking at 20C. But my weather station has it at 26.6C already. Same inside ...... wish I'd got the A/C unit!
Also seeing extremely clear skies and subsequent poor generation from the system not in the sun. Yesterday morning ESE 2kW and WNW 58W. Yesterday evening WNW 1.3kW and ESE 60W.
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.
