    Yes! Actually broke 5kWh today - 5.61. I'm actually close to PVGIS so far this month after last month's terrible performance.

    Going down, way on down.
    Only 2.8kWh
    Mind you, I was producing before 8am until after 5.00pm
    Even if it was next to zilch:rotfl:
    16 Sanyo Hit 250s.4kWp SMA 3.8kWp inverter. SW roof. 28° pitch. Minimal shade. Nov 2011 install. Hybrid car. Ripple Kirk Hill. N.E Lincs Coast.
  • What a feeble lot - down here on the Essex Riviera it is double figures time; but today we are gearing up to receive the refugees from the blizzard.

    Sit. rep. tomorrow night.

    On a dull and cloudy (predicted) day for my area I made 7.3kWh;)
    Best day for over 3 months.
    Tank of hot water too!
    Long may it continue:rotfl:

  • 10.5 kWh yesterday

    5.3 kWh today

    Forecast not looking so great for few days, but so far still ahead of climate estimate for the month. 20 units behind last years Feb figure so far.

    At least the days are getting longer :T

    Yea, it thrives on sunshine & brightness; currently not getting either, as above illustrates :( :mad:

    On the Plus side, from Wattson results I bet that I am the only one that managed to use 100% of energy generated, in the home. Did not send 1 W to the grid....:rotfl:

    Are you trying to justifying it to me or comforting yourself about low performance of your system. We had no sun just clouds. Just like today snow and heavy rain. :cool::rotfl:
