    Last four days have scraped the barrel at 3.8, 2.3, 1.0 & 0.7kWh today. Hope that downward trend doesn't continue!

    System 1: 4.78 kWh
    System 2: 4.25 kWh

    The lower angle of the roof on system 2 appears to be making just over 10% difference to the generation which is exactly in line with PVGIS predictions for this time of year.
    Solar PV System 1: 2.96kWp South+8 degrees. Roof 38 degrees. 'Normal' system
    Solar PV System 2: 3.00kWp South-4 degrees. Roof 28 degrees. SolarEdge system

    4.99 kWh today Saturday

    But the Gizmo has had a nervous breakdown and totted up a daily total of 24 kWh.

    Here is a link to the farming land rescued from the sea, with the help of Dutch engineers, which my panels overlook, though not really high enough to avoid all the mosquitoes.

    5.4kWh today, just a tad under 80kWh at the midpoint(ish) of the month. 2.4kWh needed to hit PVGIS classic estimate for Dec.

    Similar experience here - will probably finish today (fairly shortly) around 0.5kWh short of PVGIS classic (which is 75kWh for my 4kWp split system). Not sure a good December is compensation for a duff July but better than a week of snow sitting on the panels! That said the forecast for the next couple of days is OK so should clock a few more yet.

    4kWh today
    Just checked my roof angle (as you do on a cold December day)
    It has a 28 degree pitch and not 30.
    PVGIS says 10kWh less for the year.
    Should I be happy that I am doing slightly better than I thought.
    Or sad because I have lost the 10kWh:cool:

    Go for happy; as your expectations are less, and your exceeding them. And happy that your figures are based on fact and not theory.. smiley-think004.gif

    3.4 kWh yesterday Sat.
    3.9 kWh today... smiley-bounce016.gif
