    Update...
    Just checked yesterday's output.
    I had read Sunny Beams daily total before it had finished.
    It was not a paltry 1.6kWh but a jaw dropping, magnificent, super dooper 3.2kWh

    Oct total 202kWh.
    Happy Days:rotfl:

    Is that the same as what is on the generation meter?

    I have a gizmo that tells me what the panels are doing but I think it was calibrated by someone responsible for designing car speedometers

    230.23 kWh for the month.

    Sunny Beam is giving higher readings(nearly1%) but,I just use it to rough check my output. I use Gen meter for true figures.
    You can edit/reset SMA invertor to give correct details/new FIT rate but I still find it annoying. Spoken to SMA and they are looking into it.I was told the piece of kit that gives the figures on the SMA invertor costs pennies, compared to a Gen meter costing around £22.00

    October was not a good month lots of cloud ,rain an fog .
    But given that.I managed to equal pvgis estimate 159.54 kwh.
    Figures are taken from my SMA inverter via bluetooth to PC. 10w difference from export meter close enough for me.
    As I type this THE SUN IS OUT .

    Fingers crossed for November.http://static.moneysavingexpert.com/images/forum_smilies/beerchug.gif

    A mere 2.4 kWh today..:(
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

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