    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.

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    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.

    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.

    Well done Rheumatoid, you beat us by a couple of hours!
    Don't know about it being an exceptional year as we only had our system installed in April so it's normal to us! :D
