    PVGIS plus 10%, month got off to an amazing start but then limped along in the second half.
    I think....

    109.4% of PVGIS for October. 1.5kWH more than last October.
    A bright day today, but with very low sun so just 0.73 Os.

    I haven't updated for a while, but the last couple of months have been OK. As michaels said, most of October's generation was in the first half, and since then it's been falling off.

    September: 348 kWh (1.0% above PVGIS target)
    October: 275 kWh (12.2% above target)

    Great start to October. Hit target a week ago, but since then gen has been very poor.

    Closed on 244.2kWh's, or 43.76 Os and 108% of target.

    Actually my best October, with the others ranging from 219 to 238, quite a tight spread.

    Import was 138kWh.
    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.
