Hit May target an hour ago. Looking more and more likely that May 2020 will set a new record for my systems. Already projecting ahead of all best May's and June's, and only 7kWh behind July 2013 the very best. And that projection assumes average gen this last week, but the forecast is excellent.
PV, the gift that keeps on giving.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.6 -

Best day since install yesterday. 28.4kWh, 7.1 O's..
I had the panels cleaned on Saturday, I wonder if this helped? They face a busy main road on a bungalow so are quite low, and the lack of rain had left them really dusty. They were also covered in bird cr*p, as pigeons like to hide underneath them.
