We didn’t get our panels until beginning of July last year but only saw one Hawaii in 2018.
You will get a good few Hawaii's, but a Maiden might be rare. For me that would be 33.48kWh in a day, which we've definitely had (I'm sure) but not each year, maybe only one or two.
The southers will hit 7's (I forget what the nickname is for that, possibly 'heaven'), but I think an 8 (Potato) still eludes this thread?????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 -
