    2.3 O's today, so another above average figure for October. Mind you tomorrow's looking decidedly iffy!
    Slightly better here...3.08 O's..:rotfl:...coffee.gif

    2.25 here yesterday, nice and bright. Looking out the window now that doesn't look to be the case today though. :(

    Ticking along here with a couple of 2 O's, which is above target for my E/W systems.

    Now passed October target, and best October and projecting 119% for the month if the last two days are average, but they look like being slightly above.

    Now only 14kWh's shy of best ever year, if the rest is average. Nice.
    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.

    Sun came out and on off for brief periods for dead on 1.00

    Was under October PVGIS day average, but almost dead on a November day.... but as we are only days away, that's fair.

    Maybe I need to do some Excel magic to use PVGIS monthly averages to get 365 daily targets. :)

    As its seems unfair that 30th Sept is target is 13.4, yet one day later the 1st October is 8.7. And 1st November is 5.2. Quite broad sweeping? Maybe could work out graded/smoothed targets.

    The month isn't over yet and, despite a forecast to the contrary, today has been continuous sunshine so far! :)
