    Inverter still chugging along Generating nowt, due to the Thunder & Lightning....so today, only 3.52 O's..:mad:...coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    Decent weekend, couple of TyphOOO's.

    Predicting over 700kWh's, my first ever for May, but all depends how close to average these last 4 days are.
    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.

    Likewise here. Currently need 30Kwh to get me through the 600Kwh barrier for the first time (never been near it since install). Today is forecast cloudy with sun later and the rest of the month cloudy so may just crawl over :)

    Edit: Finished with 11.91Kwh (cloudy morning and sun came out at 2pm to rescue the day). I now need 18 Kwh with tomorrow looking like another mirror of today and Wednesday and Thursday looking very cloudy. I really suspect the 600Kwh mark is going to end like my Grand National bets and fall at the last fence:rotfl:

    Well I can't wait until shutdown to post today, well over a Hawaii and smashed through my all-time monthly record set in July 2014 with three days to go. :j :j :j
