Very good Month here as well; made 2.32 O's today, ended +15% up on PVGIS which makes it 38% better than last November....:D...0.75 O's here today:D
Made 106kWh this month...2nd best November total from last 5 years:T

My eo month numbers were better than I expected with some notable 3 O days resulting in 260Kwh for the month against a target of 208.
My full year total was 4268 kwh with just over 2000 kwh diverted via the Iboost plus base load and whatever we could plan to run.
All in all over the year at 11.5p a kwh and with ourselves on oil not gas so really pleased to have more or less turned the CH off in early april (the iboost feeds a large storage heater) this year has returned over £925 off a £6000 investment.
I am very pleased I made the decision when we moved to this house to put solar on the roof.16 265w panels South facing, 45 degrees, West Norfolk.0 -

Hi All
Mixed month which was only saved by the last week ending up as the 3rd best total for November and around 40kWh higher than last year ....
Gas consumption was 35kWh and electricity imports were 117kWh, around 600Wh down on last year so the heat-pump has made little difference to the bill and a considerable difference to both comfort levels and the remaining size of the log pile ....

Nice November here. Got 131kWhs, (23.5 Os) and 107% of target.
Definite morning/afternoon bias, with the ESE at 110% and the WNW at 98%.
Import was 160kWh.
Currently 4kWh above annual PV target.
On the Navitron forum, a very helpful poster, who operates this grid monitoring site, usually provides national average figures for PV, such as these for October:-
Oct 2016 - 8.0% (capacity factor) - 60kWh/kWp
Oct 2015 6.9% 51
Oct 2014 7.8% 58
I'll pop Nov's on when they 'appear', I'm guessing 2015's will be FUN!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.0 -
105% of estimate for me for November. 115 kWh`s....mostly down to my 21 degree roof and location I assume.
Don`t want to divulge my import figure :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:3.975 kWp System, South facing, 21 degree pitch, 15 x Canadian Solar Elps, Samil Inverter, location NE Scotland (Fraserburgh) Bring on the Sun :beer:0 -

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.
Hi Martyn,
I get to 98.5% of PVGIS. Nov - Dec - Jun where the worst in terms of %, if I add Jun PVGIS I get to 101%
Back to current period. Ended Nov at 109% with 2.31 O's yesterday, well pleased with that.
Let's see what Dec brings.
