    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).
  • The last 7 days (2nd-8th) have been woeful: 0.9, 1.2, 0.8, 2.0, 1.5, 1.6, 0.5kWh giving a 7 day total of 8.5kWh, or 1.21kWh/day. We've only ever had worse 7 day figures at Christmas both years.

    It's only thanks to New Year's day's 8.7kWh that our average generation for the month so far is 2.2kWh/day, versus the PVGIS estimate of 3.48kWh/day. Unless things improve we'll be 37% below PVGIS Classic at the end of the month.

    The sun has finally made an appearance today though so hopefully we'll make up for the rubbish start to the month.

    Still ticking along. But today was very nice, got 6.1 (which is very good for my system at this time of year). Running spot on target so far.

    But .... the long-term weather forecast has a couple of snowy days next week, oh well, hopefully sunny, just have to pop out the Velux with my extendy pole (oh er missus!).

    Looking at the weather forecast 1.0kWh looks more likely:D

    I too got just over 6 kWh - best day this year - but with almost a third of the month gone, Jan total is only a third of the pvgis figure for Dec (& of course well short of Jan expectation)

    I wouldn't worry about a weather forecast for next week. Forecast will be from same people who warned us about the drought we were going to have last summer. Time to worry is when they tell us there's record sunshine expected :rotfl:
