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

    A different sort of record for me today.  Today was the 23rd day in a row that generation has exceeded the expected daily average.  The previous record was 22 days back in 2018.  Depending on how the weather breaks the record may be broken again tomorrow and on later days this week...

    Two lovely June days here with high Hawaii's so far, but today the rain has just started, and whilst perhaps not PC for a generation thread, I'm very pleased and should rain all day.
    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.

    Why would anyone want to come onto a solar PV generation thread and talk about rain as though it is a good thing? Everybody knows that PV produces electricity cheaper than rain without any of the externalities.

    Let’s be positive, please. No more deniers.

    Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)

    That's good news Mart, we're parched over here in the East so if you could divert some this way it'd be appreciated. A man's got to quench his thirst after all, not to mention turning the grass back to Green again. :)

    Raining up here in the Welsh Valleys too :)  Panels could do with a wash to clean the dust off and our 2,500litres of water butts could do with a top up, as our stream has run dry and the ducks need fresh water each day.

    Ok, ok, I'm not jealous at all! Cloudy, but not a drop here and the forecast is a 3% chance of rain in any one hour period for the whole of today. So that's none then! :'(
    But I see that the wind is supposed to pick up so that's positive on the generation front. :)
