    Not posted for ages, but ended October on 87% of estimate. September was 88%. Worst October for me also since installation in March 2014.

    Are others finding this year to not be a good one? None of my 'best months' have been this year and a fair few of my 'worst months'.
    Cheltenham. 3.90 Kwp system. SSE = 2.73kwp (14 x 195w panels), WWS = 1.17kwp (6 x 195w panels). 30 degree slope.

    Only 1.000 O's today to finish October off at 9% above PVGIS..:(...coffee.gif
    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).

    Closed the month at 97%, only 2016 was better, but first Oct with SolarEdge on the ESE system which came in at 101% v's 89% for WNW.

    Leccy import 152kWh, up about 10 on previous years, not bad considering extensive use of ASHP, so most use must have been from PV. Total consumption 236kWh's, but low gas consumption.

    End of year looks like 98%, though loss of a power optimiser on the WNW probably cost me 2% last year, and again this year, before I noticed.
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW). Two A2A units for cleaner heating.

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