    Great apart from clouds blocking sun between 11:15 and 12:30. Would have been much better than yesterday otherwise.

    Following a ropey 0.83 Os yesterday, a much better 2.75 Os today :)
    2kWp 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.
  • A georgous day which I spent most of up on the roof trying to cure leaks between the facia board and conservatory roof. No doubt marginally reduced output due to the shadows cast but hopefully have 50% of it finished. Fingers crossed for another dry sunny day tomorrow!
    Oh, output was 2.78 O's. :)

    Hit my expected generation for the year today - didn't see that coming and bodes quite well for the remaining 6 weeks of the year:rotfl: With a bit of luck adding this year's total to that of last year will average out as two normal years having been about 200kWh down last year:beer:
