    Not good enough, 2.4kWh for me....work it out on kWp.. :rotfl:

    More boring information: since 5/11/12 Generation Meter recorded 53.9 kW.....Wattson Monitor recorded 53.694 kW.. - 0.206 kW difference.. And some say that they are not accurate... smiley-shocked028.gif

    I'm too scared to from Nov to Feb, that's why I stuck panels on every roof. If the cat's weren't so fast, or the postman so stroppy, they'd be on them too!

    Generation this last week has remained average, with double days and zero days balancing out. Could do with a nice finish, but weather looks miserable, fantastic day tomorrow though, nice start to 2013.

    Looks like I'll be a little over for Dec.

    Mart.
    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.

    December generation was slightly above both PVGIS prediction and the equivalent 2011 generation.

    December 2012 solar generation was 102.56% of PVGIS
    December 2012 solar generation was 102.56% of December 2011

    2012 overall solar generation was 103.10% of PVGIS
    2012 overall solar generation was 96.29% of 2011

    A remarkable 0.3 kWh here, hence the saving of only 18.58% off my Leccy for Dec.....smiley-whacky117.gif
