    127% pvgis, missed out by 1.5Os on 100 Os for the month.

    7 record months this year out of 9, 4 record max, 3 record low :)
    I think....

    First ever submission from yesterday. 22.68 KWh generated / 5.1 of panels = 4.44 ? Well above the 13.4 KWh PVIGS average. Hope that is all correct? :rotfl: Obviously I don't expect the sun to shine like that every day in September...... as today is now showing.

    Disappointing 2.15 Os after a sunny morning but for once I am ahead of PVGIS.

    399.79 kWh for September which is only 78% of PVGIS but we did have 4 days of zero production and the equivalent of a fifth day when the system was shut down for various reasons. On that basis I would say we made 94% of target for September.

    August was 99% of target after allowance for outages.
    July made 111% of target.
