    Best month since install (13 months) - 116% and 444 for a 3.5 Kwp system @ 4.099 O's for the month
    But for the size the best month was september 2015 @125%!

    Snap, also best ever month out of 13 - beat last July by 0.5 Os....

    Best ever % compared to PVGIS was this Feb with 126%.
    I think....
