    5.45 Os for third day running. Generation last three days has been 42.54, 42.53 and today 42.55 kWh.

    Some interesting Cloud Edge effects today, particularly about 5.45pm when after several hours of clear skies and gradually falling PV the generation suddenly shot up from 3.26kw to 4kw before dropping to less than 1kw as a bank of cloud came over.

    6.05 Os and fourth maiden in a row but, looking at the forecast, that's it for a few days. I had much higher peaks than the last three days and had they been sustained I probably would have got a 7, but there were significant periods of cloud where generation was well down.

    173 kWh`s generated over the last 7 days up here.

    Prob my best generation over a sustained period.

    Had 2 days in 2015 where I generated over 30 kWh`s. Can`t seem to even threaten that now, even with what would be perceived as ideal conditions.
