With all the recent doom & gloom comments, I was beginning to wonder if my readings would get anywhere near the pvgis forecast.
In fact, pvgis = 316.5kWh & our Sept gen was 338. i.e. 6.8% above forecast. Not quite as good as last year (or any of 2011-2013) but much better than 2014.

Last 3 days of the month saved me.
4.43 Os today, 54kWh in the last 3 days means 101.2% of PVGIS for September(364.4kWh).

Have to admit but I've got idle of late updating my spreadsheet for my meter reads. The last readings entered we're on 27/5 but in those 4 months I've generated just over 2630kWh(combined)
Better still(for me anyway) my last import readings on the sheet were inputted on 30/4 meaning I've imported 1023 kWh over a 5 month period(flippin good for me)
Only 23 units of gas imported, mainly for cooking as our heating still hasn't kicked in yet(yay
)
Yesterday I finished the month off with 2.5(combined) O's taking all 3 systems over PVGIS.

Not a great September, warm and wet, but a little short on sunshine.
Got 348.9kWh (62.53 Os) 92% of target. Annual prediction at 101%.
Imported 102kWh.
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.

2.85 O's yesterday. 309 kWh generated for month, PVGIS target 346 kWh.

A poor September here too, up in the very wet Welsh Valleys.
Only 243kWh, about 6% below PVGIS & installers estimate.
That's nearly 100kWh less compared to last September's 338kWh :mad:
Has anyone invented "rain powered" generation? There must be a lot of kinetic energy in the falling rain that could be harnessed.
