    Pretty sure that's all I'm going to get today unless it wakes up for a little spurt later. A miserable 1.46 Os and I need 15.47 kWh in the next two days to hit the 300. Looks unlikely as there isn't much sun forecast until Friday.
    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.
  • Another poor day today takes the month to 592.77Kwh. Tomorrow and Thursday we have rain forecast so it looks like I’m going to miss out on the 600 mark. On the plus side it’s my best month ever and after a crappy 4 months I’m now back on track with PVGIS (just).:D

    Hmm - just short of 1 O today :eek:



    According to the meter at 14:30 which is peak production time for our orientation we were making 6w :rotfl:

    Only 1.88 O's here...:mad::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).
  • Well, just .75O's today which leaves me 5.5Kwh short of the magic 600 and just under 2Kwh short of hitting 150 O's. 1 day left and looking very touch and go, although hopefully better than today.
    It comes to something when your best ever month may end up with disappointment :D or is that a glass half empty attitude?
