    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
  • 12.2 kWh today eventually.

    With a good day forecast tomorrow , very surprisingly I'll be only a handful of units short of climate forecast.

    Roll on Spring proper :)

    Not too bad today 6.2 kWh, bad start, then good, poor, finally better.:beer:

    Same here...Sunny, then sky went black at 14.00 and had lots of rain.
    Sun popped out after an hour, so 5.26kWh for the day:D

  • 1.4kWh yesterday but 10.1kWh today, so a nice surprise when I got back from the big smoke this evening. 108.9kWh generated in Jan now, just pipping the 108kWh PVGIS Classic estimate with a day to go.

    Good 8.3kWh day yesterday get us within 4.5kWh of PVGIS classic (no chance of the extra 10 to get climate!). Some sunny spells forecast for today which might get us there - whether we can get the 8.6kWh needed to beat December is also doubtful!

    Have a good day folks and lets hope Feb is nice and sunny - there can't be anything left in the sky to fall surely!

  • January generation has been well below both the Climate-SAF PVGIS prediction and the equivalent 2012 generation, but only just short of 2011.

    January 2013 solar generation was 66.67% of Climate-SAF PVGIS
    January 2013 solar generation was 66.67% of January 2012
    January 2013 solar generation was 94.12% of January 2011
