    Finished the month with a respectable 2.07 Os yesterday for a January total of 35.64 Os or 6.1% above PVGIS. It's pretty rare for me to beat PVGIS in winter due to shading so I'm happy with that. :)

    (Another February like last year would be wonderful!)
    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.

    Finished with 95% of January PVGIS average after a late rally.

    As described in my Install thread i'm happy with this due to my huge winter shading issues (imagine losing akin to 20% of your total panel potential every day). :(
