    6.3kwh for me.
    I reckon shafeeq has nicked a few of my panels:D

    We reckon everyone of you have nicked one of our panels each.;)

    We generated 0.86kWh :mad:

    Problem for us this time of year is our south facing garden backs onto a common. Beautiful to look at but it is shading the sun from our panels. Oh well!!!!! Nice view for us though!!!! :cool:

    I was hoping to win the "mine is bigger than yours competition" yesterday, when I got home to a near perfect curve on the "gizmo"; but all I can reliably say is that I have made over 14 kWh in two days ;)

    On a TGM basis I'm willing to bet I'm unbeatable today. No decimal places TGM 0 & decimal places TGM 0.1.

    Giving me a grand total of 18Wh / kWp, or in financial terms, a tiny bit shy of 2p. Hmmm what to buy, what to buy?
