Only 4:30 and I can already report my month end figures. Aren't these dark evenings handy
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.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
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! :j2kWp 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

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

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.

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.0 -
Turned out to be the best October to date at 10.7% above expectations.:beer:0

Another 'best ever' month, 127% pvgisI think....0

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.
