    Lovely one here today; 3 whole O's for 118% of PVGIS..... and its still hanging one with 85w at 17:40 in the rain. :cool:

    Although looking at the trace from today I still don't think the wife fully understands the urgency about putting the washing/drying on whilst the sun in shining. LOL.

    Cr*p day today for me, thank goodness OCD has now been shown to be a stupidity disorder. (If a disorder is a correct word) ...:D...2.72 O's...:D...coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    I prefer CDO, looks better when alphabetized. :whistle:

    Poor start to Mch, already down to a 97% projection. But sunny start today (hopefully) so the ESE panels will be happy.

    Away for the weekend testing the EV on a 450 mile round trip to Swanage. With suitable recharges at Cobham Services, mid way between the destination each time. Averaged 4.5 miles/kWh for the return journey. Probably wind assisted!

    Anyway, figures for March generation so far are:- 0.78, 1.23, 0.48, 3.2 & 4.13 O's or 69% compared to pvgis.
    The consolation, or bonus even, being that the EV received a sizeable charge from Solar output today. :)
