    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Six poor days in a row, and my month end prediction is retreating into a hole and having a quiet sob - 89%.

    Hopefully the weather improves from today, but not sure it's good enough to raise the figure, perhaps just stop it sliding lower.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

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

    10th 1.19 O's :(
    11th 0.42 O's :mad:
    12th 1.08 O's :(

    18.96 O's so far for this April, that's less than 20 % of PVGIS estimate for the month and over 33% of the month gone. :eek:
