    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 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)
