    Another Maiden+ today; 6.48 O's.
    Now the highest month ever since installation, with 3 more sunny days to go :j:rotfl::T


    What! better than May, surely not!

    Well with that and now Germany out of the world cup I think I might just risk 50p at the bookies on England winning it.:)

    And yes, another Maiden today, but only by the slimmest of margins. But still just as welcome as those previously of more ample proportions.;)

    Interesting that it's your best month ever. Looks like matching June 2014 at about 750kWh's, but probably short of all time record of 775kWhs, July 2013.

    But ..... whilst I'm projecting a 114% overall, the west system is well ahead of the east 119% v's 112%, so definitely a west month.

    The year is now ahead at 101% projection, so finally made up for the poor Mch & April.

    Doh! Forgot generation, 33.9kWhs two days in a row, 6.08 O's
    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.

    Our system was installed in August 2015, so yes, the best month so far, even better than last month.

    PVGIS estimate for the month is 466kWh, we are already at 507kWh and it looks like at least another 60kWh is likely before the end of the month.
    Managing to use a higher percentage of it too :beer: Air conditioner working a treat!

    Today is the new best day ever since installation, November 2014. 6.984 Os. Oh dear, I have failed in getting my first 7.

    6.74 O's today.

    All that sunshine but I noticed that my 4kw system was maxing out at little more than 3kw in the peak sunshine, I'm assuming this must be down to the loss of efficiency in the heat of today... :question:
