    Slightly down on the month so far. East is down, West is up, been a week of good afternoon's after poor mornings, but a couple of top Trump days ahead.
    Don't mention the West being up in the same sentence as Donald!:rotfl: Very poor today with only a/an Hawaii + 1.12 O's..:j..coffee.gif

    4.7 Os today. It has been one of the sunniest days since we got the panels but I was quite surprised how the output per hour fell short of what it was doing a couple of weeks ago. Max today was just over 4kw under a clear sky compared with over 5 as recently as last week. Is this just the sun being lower in the sky or can atmospheric conditions we cannot see affect output? These instantaneous figures are taken from the Moixa Dashboard but when I checked on the inverter in the loft the figures are similar.

    By the way the Moixa Dashboard has been revised with more screens and daily, weekly and monthly figures now displayed for output, battery power deployed and consumption. Not really the place for that here but I might provide some images on the domestic battery thread at some time.

    Reached 20000kwh generated by our solar panels since we had them installed. That's quite a bit of CO2 and money saved!

    A low performance day. Sun but loads of cloud.

    Ahead of the curve on 26% of estimate.

    Passed 5 MWh of diverted production to the IBoost today.
