    And another Maiden, but only + 0.08 today, largely due to a rather foggy start to the day. But who cares, now at 94% May PVGIS. :)
    2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.

    500kWh in the bank so far, which is crazy with 11 days to go, so theoretically could catch my best ever month (775kWh July 13), but that's unlikely. May record of 658kWh 2015 looks doable.
    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.
