#SadFace!
Let down at the end. Predictions had been as high as 110%, but slipped down and down during the last week, and just 1 O yesterday closed the month on 99% of target, but a nice 504kWhs regardless.
Let down by poor afternoon weather all month. The WNW normally outperforms the ESE (against target) due to SolarEdge kit, but this month we had ESE at 104%, and WNW at 88%.
No GCH at all in April, but new ASHP probably ran for 100+hrs, but total import was only 96kWh (82 in 2016 and 97 in 2015).
So first 4 months under target and year end prediction now at 97.3% .... hardly anything to get upset about I suppose.
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.

Achieved 106% of PVGIS estimate for April. Slightly better than last year.
Strange month, with the first half producing more than the second half.
Finished on only 1.56 O's for yesterday.0 -
4.70 O's yesterday, which helped me reach my PVGIS target of 426kWh, just! :T
Not as good as last April though, which was 451 kWh.3.96 kWp System, SSE Facing, 30 Degree Pitch, 12 x 330W BenQ Panels, Solar Edge Inverter, Lincoln, Lincolnshire. Installed 26th May 2015.0 -
Actual 425 kWh against PVGIS forecast of 399.5. i.e. 6.4% above forecast.
Average for 2017 to date is now 1% below PVGIS thanks to disastrous Jan/Feb - though oddly I had no snow on panels hence no zero days in those months.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
2.85 O's yesterday. Got to 101% of April target (was at 116% at one point during the month)
Last April was 94%
Half way through the month and at 98%, and ahead of the same point last year.3.99KW SunEdison (14 * 285W), Solis inverter, iBoost, Herts, roughly SW facing0
