    A slightly disappointing 6.09 Os today. Continuous sunshine but just too hot for efficient generation.

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

    Just scraped a Wink yesterday with 4.01 O's.

    Month end prediction has been climbing 1% or 2% each day with this great weather, but at 86% I don't think there are enough days left in April to hit 100% even if they are all bonus days. :(
    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.

    3 x straight days of (combined)Hawaii's. None of the past 3 days have been "best this year", that's reserved for the 5th of April.....for now
    Think it's all over for this month now anyway as the clouds are a rolling in:(

    Anyone else still get a smug smile on their face when the washer, dryer and kettle(1Kw Mart) are on together and are still not importing?.....i know i do:D
    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)
