    124.2 for November against PVGIS Classic estimate of 117.3 - would have been slightly better had the panels not been off for two days for meter changes which never happened! (So I'll add the compensation to my mental solar earnings!).

    Still the panels are now nicely washed off, all water butts are full, we've survived the floods and we look like getting a decent start to December.

    As someone else said although the generation is lower at this time of year there is a curious satisfaction in knowing you are using more of it yourself.

    Apologies for not participating more - being out at work with the monitor etc at home means I normally forget to be on this thread and have solar data at the same time - I do still read and keep an interest in how everyone is doing.

    5.9 yesterday and 4.5 today, which co-incidentally are also my best and worst days too (so far this month). :p

    Mart.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
