    May was my best month ever. Then June became my best month ever. Then July became my best month ever. July was 534 kWh averaging 17.22 kWh a day. I think that that is a 4.55 O daily average.

    Best month again for me in July, beating June which was my previous best month (since install in April 2014).

    559.1 kWh in total (143.36 Os) and 127% of PVGIS. A very mixed year so far, I've had record best months for February, May, June & July, but record worst months in March & April!

    3.5 Os today. Having seen the weather forecast and the cloud drifting across the country I am surprised by how, once again, our PV output is falling so short of you guys with the South facing systems, eg Merlin139, who isn!!!8217;t that far from me. At this time of the year I would be expecting my east/west system to be about 90% of optimum orientation.

    In July I averaged 3.75 Os per day compared with 4.7 for Merlin. How does 3.75 Os compare generally? Over a month as a whole I would presume we have a similar mix of weather across the country.

    Maybe not: My average was 13.32 kWh per day and/or 5.329 O's per day....coffee.gif
