    Not quite so good today and a 25 minute outage. Mustn’t grumble as 179% of PVGIS for the day and 43% of monthly target achieved so far. Let’s see what tomorrow and the weekend bring.

    4.1 O's ish for me today.😥👍🤔🤗
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    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).

    Nice start to the month, and currently predicting 106% for October, but that's going to drop like a stone with the poor weather on the way. Bit of sun on Sunday though, quite apt.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    3.45 yesterday despite the sun being out longer than the day before (3.75). Much like british rail, maybe it was the wrong type of sun. :)

    Hi guys,


    Is anyone able to suggest a system which can monitor my system's generation? I work away from home a lot and being the geek that I am I would like to know what they're doing each day. I'm away from home just now so I'll need to ask my other half to double check what type of inverter I have but I'm sure it's a Solis of some kind I think it's rated up to 4.5kW since it's a 4.48kWp system that I have....TIA.

    No one around today though, so we barely used a drop of it. :(


    Really interesting to see it like that, I'd be interested in getting software which could log my generation like that.
