    Only 4:30 and I can already report my month end figures. Aren't these dark evenings handy :D Perhaps I'll be able to report next month's just after lunch ?

    247 kWh (£134.89) compared to a PVGIS figure of 208.5 kWh - i.e. 18.5% above expectation.

    Really early shutdowns now but at least I got 2.92 Os today for an October total of 77.76 Os, that is 23.3% above PVGIS and easily my best ever October. Furthermore I am only 3.5 Os short of my highest ever annual total (2014) and there are still two months to go! :j

    Another good day. 3.75 O's

    Great end to the month. Daily average 2.53 O's

    Looking at 155 days of October data 10 of my top 24 days have been this year. All of them have been above 3.7 O's

    Best October yet. 132.7% of Estimate :T

    Jan to Oct at 116.4% of Estimate

    Year to date 108.6% of Estimate

    Today is the start of my 9th year as a non smoker! :j

    Best October by far with a lovely 120% of PVGIS. Currently projecting 11kWh's short of best ever year.

    Generation 277kWh's, import was 155kWh's and consumption was 252kWh's, with export of 180kWh's. Quite impressive as the ASHP was running most days. Total annual consumption looks like being about 3,100kWh's which I don't think is too bad given the extensive use of the ASHP.
    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.

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

  • Good end to the month (just over 3 O's) which is my best October to date with 123% of PVGIS.

    Providing we get more than 50% of PVGIS for the next 2 months it will be my best year so far.

    First full month of generation and higher than the October PVIGS average. :T

    Although some discrepancy as Gen Meter has me at 117% whilst the Solar Edge monitoring says 121%.

    This has been a common theme where the Solar Edge app reports about 3-5% over with consistent accuracy each day. Doing some Googling though, this does seem to be par for the course with Solar Edge.

    Onwards and Upwards.
