    Worst day of the month yesterday; just 0.88 O's. :mad:
    However, still likely to be the best month since installation. :T

    The last couple of days have been shocking, and today looks like it's not going to be any better...

    BUT, Yesterday just nudged me over the 600 kWh mark, meaning this month overall has been spectacular.

    I'm on a knife edge at 14:00 hours. I need just five more kilowatt-hours to equal the best month ever. Will I make it won't I?

    :j:j:j Currently 3.1 O's today which has taken me past the 600Kwh mark by 7Kwh and also past 150 O's for the month. I've beaten my best previous month by more than 80 Kwh but even so I'm still down on my previous 2 years production at this time of year although I have actually caught up with PVGIS:D

    2.32 O's for today.

    Best month since installation in 2015, reaching 506.4 kWh or 126.6 O's for May.


    That's 109.4% of PVGIS estimate for May.
