    Lots of boring days and then 3.38 Os today! That's 312% of Jan PVGIS! I just checked and it is my best ever January day, by some margin (previous best 2.99 Os). But ... I think that's the last good day for a while.

    Same here, bestest day of Jan so far, got 1.52 O's, and 212% of day target. Now predicting 104%, but today and Thursday look miserable, so it's all down to Wednesday to make target.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    0.37 O yesterday........ not good.

    Need to find 4 O in two days to hit January average. Doesn't look like that is going to happen.

    I've posted in my install thread why I think this is happening. :)

    I seem to be doing quite well this month compared to some on here...

    Already at 109.96% of PVGIS for Jan. Best Jan since install. My best day (28th) bagged me 3.74 O's... Today looks like it's going to be a beaut also so maybe I'll beat the 28th. :)

    Sorry, must have double clicked and skipped 2015. Jan 2015 was 137% of PVGIS. I doubt I'll beat that with two days to go...

    0.57 O's on a very grey day yesterday.
    Will be missing Jan PVGIS but think the WSW panels will start to improve through the coming months, as there's less and less shading each day
    6.3kW system in Loughborough. 15 JASolar 300w panels on main roof SSE (no shading) with 4.2kW Growatt Inverter. 6 JASolar 300w panels on garage roof WSW (some winter shading) with a 1.65kW Growatt Inverter. Running a Nissan Leaf 24kW and considering battery storage :)

    0.99 Os yesterday and a nice 2.82 Os today so I will now exceed PVGIS tomorrow as I only need 0.03 Os :) That will be one of my better results for January.
