    Nice 2.54 O's yesterday. Mch on target for 97% of PVGIS, and equal to Jan + Feb + 50kWh, the joys of non-south facing PV.
    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.

    First Hawaii of the year with 5.15 Os! :j That might be the earliest I've ever got one but it's a bit of a pain to check.


    Edit: not quite the earliest for the years for which I have daily records (all except 2016 and 2017) - managed it on 9 March 2014.
    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.

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

    Hi all, don't know what an "O" is but I've just had a 5.2 kilowatt system installed. Battery to follow when Tesla sort out the controller unit to let it power the house when the mains supply is down (because what's the point of a stonking great battery on the side of the house which won't supply during a grid failure ... )
