    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Your produced 1.24 O's yesterday.

    Rubbish last week that's hurt my totals. I now need 40kWh's to hit June target, so just 7.2 O's, on a dull and wet Friday, should be fine.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.

    So with 4 days of June to go we needed just 6 Os for an all time record month - easy right?

    In the end we scraped it today ending 4 Os above our previous best month (July 2016). The good news is that 4 good days would have put us far away from anything that could ever be beaten whereas now there is still hope of getting a better month sometime.

    113% of pvgis compared to 91% last year.
    I think....
