    Another completely overcast day. 1.15 O’s.

    Only 78% of target to date this month. I can’t see that being clawed back even if the sun does shine. Would need to average 2.77 O’s for the next ten days and have only done that on 3 days so far this month.

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    A mighty 0.54 O's here. Month end prediction now down to 88%.

    But (kiss of death time), the weather should change midday today, and be very good till the end of September. So hope still remains that the numbers can be made back up(ish). :shhh:

    Been away for the last 14 days in Sunny Cyprus. Temps in the low 30's. Lots of solar panels around but none helping with my production. Had to spend a day up Troodos mountains to see some cloud and rain but even then the temp only got down to 18.

    Best day back at home was 13/09 with 4.65 O's. Worst day was 10/09 with 0.87 O's

    Averaged 2.71 O's over the 14 days.

    Up to 75% of Estimate for the month.
