Bit Grotty today only...2.2 O's..:eek::mad:..
2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Fed up of feeling inadequate everyday so I am, instead, going to declare today’s generation as 82% of PVGIS for an October day. (December target would be a mere 0.42 Os). I will probably revert to Os again next summer.
No disrespect intended to Oscar, of course whose name like Ohm, Volta, Coulomb, Ampère, Joule, Watt and a few others will now live on throughout the solar power age and maybe beyond.Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kWwest facing panels , 3.6 kWeast facing), Solis inverters installed 2018, 5kW SSE facing system (shaded in afternoon) added in 2025 with Tesla PW3 battery, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted A2A Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner.0 -

After a stonking start to the month, only 1.31 Os yesterday and 2.64 Os today, but that still puts me well ahead of PVGIS for average October days so far.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0

Thought I'd posted earlier but must have had an Oscar moment! No Stella, but I had been bottling home made wine! Anyway, 1.88 O's today, on a bit of a downward trend but still ahead for October.

Well only 1.82 O's yesterday but on the plus side it took me past my annual PVGIS target :j
If I hit the same production for the last 3 months as last year it will be my best year.0 -
Back down to earth with a bump yesterday!

Back up today 4.37 O's, even better 21.4 kWh into the Leaf making todays usage around 76% so clawing a little back from the many days when it's often less than 20%.
