    That’s a bit better than me as only averaging 4.5 Os

    My neighbour whose roof is at 90* to mine is averaging 5.3 Os

    PVGIS suggests there shouldn’t be much penalty for an E/W roof this time of year but it looks like about 15%.

    Last month I did 94.4 Os and the neighbour did 113 Os so the deficit was 16.5%.

    First 6 months the figures were 411 Os for me and 590 for the neighbour - a 30% deficit. Ouch!

    He does, though, have a Solar Edge system which I think helps.

    Keep us posted as to your experiences with the Powerwall.
    I can already tell you I'm addicted to the app that lets me see where the power is flowing between mains supply, PV, battery and house :rotfl:

    Well despite yesterday being our best daily return this year I was a little surprised to find that five of the panels were each down by about 25% compared to the remainder. Couldn't complain, but when again the same five panels showed a deficit this morning I contacted the installer. They were able to confirm the problem via the Solar Edge platform and said that, as a first step, they would email them to see if there might be a software problem!


    I think it could be a software bug as another good return today, 6.6 O's.:)


    Wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar?
