    0.4 O's to end the year off, about 95% of Dec PVGIS but around 105% for the year.
    That's now 6 full years and only 1 year that came in below estimate, can't argue with that, just wish my FiTs provider were a bit quicker off the mark at payin up........can't have everything i suppose

    Happy new year to all my fellow [STRIKE]nerds[/STRIKE] PV'ers

    Finishing the year with a pathetic 0.12 Os but a record-breaking year all-round with 1,011 Os, 7.4% above PVGIS and 5.5% above my previous best year of 2014. I suppose that given 2018 was the second sunniest year ever recorded and May 2018 the sunniest month ever recorded (and my best ever month), that is not entirely surprising. Onwards and upwards and Happy New Year to all!:beer:

    Dec gen was 72kWh compared to pvgis of 87.15 i.e 17% below forecast. But that only means I've 'lost' £8

    2018 gen as whole was 3747kWh compared to pvgis of 3517 i.e. 6.5% above forecast

    From 1st Jan 2012 till 21/12/2018 25489kWh generated hence avg 3641 p.a. or 3.5%above pvgis

    Also just noticed that since 15/8/2011 TGM has recorded 26461 kWh compared to inverter claiming only 26433 hence inverter reads 0.1% lower than pvgis (though of course neither guarantee to be within 0.1% of true reading).
