    Probably not duck!!! Just trying to work out how you came to those figures.:rotfl:

    Ed x x x x x x x x x x x

    Simples Ed: Your system is 2.4 kWp, mine is 2.5 kWp. Just divide your Gen for the day by your kWp; ie. Days gen is 2.0kWh/2.4 = 0.833. My case: 2.0kWh/2.5 = 0.8. Possibly the first time you would have beaten me.....:eek:

    A grey morning but the sun came out at lunchtime to notch up a 3.9kWh.

    Nearly at the midway point in the month and have already bagged 92.1kWh (73%) of the month's PVGIS (Classic) estimate of 126kWh. Generation currently 57% above PVGIS estimate at 6.6kWh/day versus 4.2kWh PVGIS estimate.
