I just realised something as I looked at yet another disappointing #Os generation figure: I should be looking at realistic figures, and "1" doesn't mean "average."

for e.g. my PVGIS estimates 74kwh for Dec. That's ~2.4kwh per day, which is 0.44 O's in my case.

So, ultimately, I should be happy with anything over 0.44 Os, rather than 1+ Os per day!

Hiya, and yes .... but, there's always a but with PV. For December, generation (on average) will drop towards the winter solstice then start back upwards again.

So week 1 will be the best, then week 2, with weeks 3 and 4 (straddling the worst day) will be the lowest weeks, but of course averages are impacted by weather.

For January, you have the opposite of early Dec, as week 1 is the worst, and week 4 the best.

So before June, the early weeks may look disappointing, and after June the early weeks look really good v's daily averages. So much fun!

The best bit for you is that you'll start low, then see bigger and bigger gen as 2018 rolls along, hopefully well into the 30's kWhs.

I got a lovely 0.25 O's yesterday, hard to spin that as a positive, except it's better than nothing.

3 O's yesterday or 13.7kwh if you prefer.

Bit gloomy looking today.

Ah, true! I can't even imagine generating that much - I guess there's the perk of installing in the worst part of winter - my experience is a few kwh but I see that grow to new heights regularly for the next 6 months! Right now I get excited when I see 1000w being produced, and absolutely cannot believe that figure by all estimations will more than triple at some point in the next few months...

I wish batteries were cost effective... I'm going to hate "wasting" all that surplus.
