Same here on the E coast = 0.3 O's today:mad:16 Sanyo Hit 250s.4kWp SMA 3.8kWp inverter. SW roof. 28° pitch. Minimal shade. Nov 2011 install. Hybrid car. Ripple Kirk Hill. N.E Lincs Coast.0 -
0.31 Os today which is consistent with Legoman. We have had a pretty uniformly grey sky today in North Lincolnshire with my east and west roofs performing pro rata to the number of panels which is as one would expect in diffuse light. I was a little surprised to see therefore that the Solar Edge system 100 yds away produced 30% more kWh/kWp. Are Solar Edge systems that much better? I am beginning to get a complex about this.
Edit; my TGM recorded 2.45kWh (which is what I always use for my calculations) while my online inverter monitor recorded just 2.2 kWh
Edit 2: Zarch, you use the PV Output website- how does your actual generation compare with the figures that appear on there?Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kWwest facing panels , 3.6 kWeast facing), Solis inverters installed 2018, 5kW SSE facing system (shaded in afternoon) added in 2025 with Tesla PW3 battery, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted A2A Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner.0
