That was a painful month. 79% of target (ESE 78% , WNW 87%). 51.77 O's.

Import was 168kWh's, consumption was 296kWh's.

Exactly on target for annual gen, so super Feb made up for lousy Mch.

Forecast suggests Apr will be a tough ole start too.

75% of PVGIS here in Sheffield which is also my worst month percentage wise ever (by a long way) in coming up to 3 years and no sign of improvement in the near future

Terrible month for me too here in Cheltenham at 74% of PVGIS in March (59.4 Os), my worst March ever (well, since install in 2015) and my second worse month for PVGIS after Dec 2015 which was 66%. Maybe it's payback for February which was 127%.

Sun this morning but it's gone in already, hey-ho.

Rain, Rain and more Rain! 0.44 O's

79.83% of estimate for March.

99.34% of estimate for the 3 months of 2018.

A poor month here too. 219kWh generated against a pvgis forecast of 318.5 (i.e. 31% below forecast.

But bad as that is, in total amount of generation it's still better than Feb which although it was 10% above its forecast, was still only 174kWh

March numbers 363 Kwh or 94% of PVGIS here in sometimes sunny West Norfolk.

Roll on Spring.

Weird weather!

Yesterday was supposed to be a whiteout, but gen was fine and managed a TyphOOO with 3.12 O's.

Today is supposed to be rain all day, but the sun has come out and gen is currently storming. The 3.58kWp ESE hit and held the inverter max of 3.68kW for a while, plus another kW from the WNW, now back down to about 3.5kW combined. No idea where that came from.

Perhaps it's just the semi-usual April fun and games.

Hi

That's ever so high .. I was talking to someone from that area over the weekend and they've just about achieved 250kWh with a 4kWp south facing system which is around 30% down on a target of ~350kWh, so a 4.2kWh would more likely be around 263kWh, not 363 ...

Around here we're well behind target too, we hit just over 60%, but I was told that it's been pretty miserable over there too as we were talking about how poor it's been for a while (as you do!) .... are you sure that the reading is correct?
