    Welcome to the fun world of PV. Monthly figures don't vary too much usually (cough! Nov/Dec 2015) but daily gen can be 'interesting'.

    You've joined the game at a good time, as you've seen some really good gen, then you'll have to watch it drop, drop and drop some more, before the steady climb back up next Jan to some big numbers in May/June/July.

    My system tops out at around 6 Os, but yours should go into the 7's and perhaps tease the holy grail of an 8.

    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.
