    Tomorrow it is one year since I had my system installed I'm going to estimate it was around 11am when they were switched on but I'm not sure anyway...

    I've generated 3846.74Kwh up to now and ECH group's estimate was 3852.10Kwh which I'm very impressed with I'm not going to be in tomorrow morning to check where it's at but it's going to be extremely close to the estimated annual generation.

    So, the readings at 6.30am this morning when it was the pre-dawn half light and my 5.2kWp system was generating 12 watts:

    Yesterday 23.2kWh
    Today 3.9 kWh

    (4.46 O and 0.75 O respectively)

    I think the internal clock (if it has one) or whatever defines where "today" starts and ends may need some attention, as there's no way it generated 3.9kWh from midnight to 0630 today. Time to read some more of the manual when I get home from work later ...
    Would it be roughly correct if the time had been set (by default) to midnight at the moment of its commissioning? That would be indicative of the electrician forgetting to set the clock - unless, of course, you misread it and it was really 39 Watt hours :)

    Don't you have the generation meter fitted as well i.e. the one the meter reader is going to look at? The reading at this time tomorrow minus the reading now will give tomorrow's total.

    Dismal wet morning, only 0.25 O's by 10 am. Then broken sunshine mixed with swift moving clouds finally clearing to return 3.48 O's. :)
