    Hi,

    Total generated was 3448 kWh which was just over 96% of PVGIS.

    Hiya. Out of curiosity, what would your annual % be if you replaced Nov + Dec 2015 with PVGIS averages?

    I know this may sound like cheating, and we obviously have to take the good months with the bad, but those months were exceptional. Over 5.5 years my lowest % months were 84% (Mch 13), 82% (June 12), 59% (Nov 15) & 55% (Dec 15). So they really do stand out.

    Just checked my figs, and now at 102% prediction for 2016, with Dec average equal to ~2%. So 100%+ is now unavoidable. :)
    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.

    Decent day at 2.15 O's. Would have been better if didn't have power cut until 9.30! could have done with power from the panels bailing us out this morning. Why can't my panels power me during a power cut?

    A good few days at the end of the month saved it from being a disaster.

    Ended up 167/174 kWh (96% PVGIS). First time not met since December 2015.

    Much better than Nov 2015 though at 120 kWh (69% PVGIS) :(

    Big differences between you and ajbell. appreciate a SSE system might fall of cliff in afternoon but not sure that explains all of it. Have you got shading?
