    0.077 here. First time I’ve had below 0.1 Os on consecutive days since the panels were installed.
    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)
  • Yesterday (29th) was 0.59 O's - sunny till 1:30pm with cloud later
    Today - trending towards 0.3 O's - cloud --> rain --> sun --> showers
    I'm getting envious of those here who are recording 2 O's at this time of year.  If I could chop down that tree that's due south from my house - I could get 1 O, compared to reference of 0.82 O's.  If I had my panels rise above all the the trees and rooftops - maybe 1.2-1.3 O's on a reference November day.  But 2 O's?  No way!  What's your magic trick? I'm imagining a house in SE england with views of a sharp line on the horizon across the whole southerly field of view!
    8.9kw solar.  12 panels ESE,  16 panels SSW.  JA solar 320watt smart panels.   Solar Edge 8KW HD wave inverter.  Located Aberdeenshire

    Well that was a rubbish month, 25% under PVGIS, virtually the same as October. But I've already exceeded my best ever annual total so I suppose I mustn't grumble.
