    Yesterday 2.8 & 6.0 today.

    Nice start to Dec, and looks good till Sunday. My WNW system is wondering where the sun's gone - back in 2 months I tell it. :(

    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.
  • Ended up with a 9.5kWh today. 33% of December target already in only 4 days, and the decent weather should last another 4 days. Inevitably the PV will then be buried under 6 inches of snow and make nothing for a week, but we live in hope :beer:

    Not Bad ? :) A record for November for me; 5kWh:T
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    It's already December round these parts.

    P.S. 7.4kWh for me.

  • 8.7kWh in snowless Cider Country, 44% of December estimate already in the tank (or rather generation meter).

    Managed 1.28kWh in the end. Staggered by some of the high numbers.
