    :eek:Been in hospital and just decided to check up on this months figures. 25 days in and have just passed 1/2 the estimated PVGIS. This weeks weather forecast looks terrible so looks as though I'm only going to get about 2/3 of the monthly estimate if I'm lucky.

    Can I join in please? We've had our system just a couple of weeks, and just had our best day yet. 4.83 O's :j I think is correct.

    It has made me worry that we rather oversized our panels compared to inverter though :o I've got a flat topline for nearly 3 hours today and we have hit the limit quite a lot since the system was installed.

    4.8kWp of panels with a 3.6kW inverter. What do you think?? :huh:
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
