This will probably look good compared to today....
1.87 O's yesterday.4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North LincsInstalled June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh0 -
What a difference a day (or two) makes
By 9am Saturday generation/generated was 3.01kw/7.2kwh
9am yesterday (overcast) 2.05kw/3kwh
9am today (pouring) 0.27kw/0.2 kwh. Until 8.30 the inverters had just been ticking over at 70watts.
Edit: that 0.27kw was a momentary spike and back down to 70 watts again by 9.15
I am anticipating a new record summertime (May to September) low - 6.41kw/0.82 Os on 9th May was my worst to date this year but 11th August last year only made 4.62 kw/0.59 Os.
At least the panels are getting a good wash.Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)0 -

Looks like it's cold showers & a woolly jumper for you then!:D
No, not if I am to stay married! I relented and had a one hour burn on the oil CH, third one this month. Also maxed out the E7 (4kwh) until 08.35. Still got one ASHP ticking over at 350watts. Definitely sandwiches for lunch though.
Now generated a whole 0.60kwh.
