EVandPV said:The question here is, has anyone NOT had their best month ever this month ?An Hawaii 5.7 O's for yesterday.Have this morning achieved best month ever and still producing.Will probably beat it by at least another 10kWh by the end of the day6

I've only had my panels 14 months but unsurprisingly, have had my best ever month by a very long way.
Generated 890 kWh, which is 171.1 O, or an average of 5.52 O / day. That's 140% of PVGIS for the month.
Used 532 kWh of which 29 kWh came from the grid.
I haven't been posting daily updates, but finished the month with a week of maidens and the best day this month was the 14th, with 6.82 O. Didn't beat the record of just over 7 O from last May.

Sorry to disappoint but it's a no from me. 790.5 kWh - 40% above May expectation and 10% higher than previous best month which was July 2018. Still managed to "limit" export to 35%. Mainly down to the cold start to the month meaning that UFH and oil-filled radiator were keeping us warm with the GCH turned off.
On the down side, our 1000 litres of rainwater storage is half empty, so we could do with some of the wet stuff and that unfortunately means cloud but hey ho...4 -
