9.65kWh today so 3.21 Os.
Realised it's now exactly 7 years since our panels were installed so checked our totals (3kWp panels)
Generation meter: 22654 kWh
Inverter reading: 22390 kWh
Payback was in 5 years so we're doing pretty well from them. You can see the comparison year by year, month by month. Interesting to see how the months vary each year, June has varied from 326kWh to 462kWh so quite a wide range.

Just a quick check on where I am against PVGIS, 60% of month gone and 64.3% of PVGIS for November, so probably about on course given that generation continues to fall off as the month progresses. I have never actually hit PVGIS for November or December.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-2022.0

Hate to rub it in but just this minute gone through PVGIS for November :T. Forecast for rest of month looking a bit grey though.
This has been an exceptional year since April with every month being exceeded by some margin.

Don't know about it being an exceptional year as we only had our system installed in April so it's normal to us!
