I haven't posted here for a long time, sorry, far too much stuff going on, but that was by far my best December ever and my best final quarter ever and my second highest annual total after 2014. Happy New Year!

113.4 % of PVGIS estimate for December.

104.8 % of PVGIS estimate for 2016.

Happy Sunny New Year

Annual PVGIS = 3,380,000

2015 actual 3,416,168 >>> 101.07% of PVGIS
2016 actual 3,352,365 >>> 99.18% of PVGIS

Therefore remarkably close to PVGIS in both years. 2015 about 2% down on 2015.

December didn't end pretty with 85%, but better than last year's 55%. Import was 182kWh.

Closed the year on 4,321kWh generated, and 102%. the ESE came in at 100% (exactly 100%), and the WNW at 105%.

Best percentage month, Mch @117%
Best generation month July 625kWh @ 106%.
Worst (percentage and gen) Dec @ 85%, but sadly June (my money maker month) came in a close second at 86%, and 90kWh short.

The last 4 years have performed above PVGIS - 104%, 108%, 106% 102%. This year has been the poorest, but still ok. The revised upwards PVGIS targets (since I installed) are about 5% higher, suggesting my systems hit around 97%, which I'm extremely pleased with as there is a fair bit of shading on the ESE side, and no SolarEdge to help.

Annual leccy import still going down slowly, at 1,445kWh and 100kWh less than 2014 & 15. Could be luck, but it seems to coincide with the freezer moving to the garage, and the temps in there being lower during non and low PV generating times. In December it seemed to be only consuming 0.4kWh/day.

Summary. Another great PV year, lots of fun, and no loss of interest ..... yet! Does what it says on the side of the tin.

0.1 O's here today, nonstop rain. Worst day since mid November:(

Made 67.8kWh in Dec. Better than 2015, down on 2012, 2013 and 2014

2015 total=3424.4kWh, PVGIS said 3800kWh...never been anywhere near this:eek:

Last year was still over 200kWh more than my installers estimate:T
