    Thought I had posted already but no trace on here so will try again.

    Good day after a slow start with 2.7 Os from the east panels and 4.1 from the west side. Also best day to date with the IBoost saving 9 kWh despite giving it a 1.5 hour boost on E7 overnight.

    4.5 O yesterday 176% of PVGIS daily. Best day of the year so far.

    But i'd need three more days like that just break even against March PVGIS....... you never know.

    Hi

    Yesterday turned out to be the best generating day since the middle of July last year and a run of decent days has taken us past the dismal total achieved in the previous lowest March ... not only that, but late in the afternoon we finally bettered last month's total, which doesn't say much considering that the average number of daylight hours is ~25% higher!! ....

    Ah well, maybe things are finally improving & today will be even better!! ... :cool:

    5.51 O's, the best day since 2nd September last year taking March to 91% compared to pvgis (v5) or, 98.8% compared to pvgis v4! Perhaps we'll beat pvgis yet! ;)

    Hi All

    ... Today ended up being the second best day since mid-July last year, being a few Wh behind yesterday ... most of which was exported to the grid despite a couple of loads of washing and the heat-pump 'doing it's thing' ....

    Better news is that the solar thermal hit the thermostatic cut-off point and entered stagnation mode for the first time this year, so loads of incredibly hot DHW.

    Best day of the year with 30 kWh and 3.85 Os but only beat Monday by a small margin which was a bit of a surprise particularly as my near neighbour did 6.3 Os today.
