    If that ever happens here, I'll let you know (don't hold your breath !)

    When I went to bed last night, all three of the forecasts I watch were saying skies would clear in early hours allowing me to wake to brilliant sunshine. Metcheck even suggested 4% cloud cover at 8am. All three agreed it would get cloudier during the morning with quite thick cloud cover after lunch.

    In real life, I woke to thick cloud and saw only brief glimpses of sun before 11:30

    Luckily, clouds blew away soon after that and we peaked just short of 3kW at 12:15 and enjoyed glorious sunshine till dusk.

    Day Yield : 10.65kWh

    I'm hoping they forecast a total eclipse lasting 12hrs for tomorrow :D

    End of month, and a big blehhh!! After a very promising start, and hopes for 105% to 110% of target, week 4 let me down with only 25kWh's, compared to week 3's 61kWh's. Ho hum.

    Closed the month with ESE @ 93.2% of target, and WNW @ 91.6% of target.

    March target is more than twice Feb's, so at least the import will be down, and a bit more leccy heating to match warmer weather (hopefully).

    Anyone get 100%+?

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW). Two A2A units for cleaner heating.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    February generation has been below both the Climate-SAF PVGIS prediction and the equivalent 2012 (leap year) generation, but much higher than what was achieved in 2011.

    February 2013 solar generation was 93.55% of Climate-SAF PVGIS
    February 2013 solar generation was 89.23% of February 2012
    February 2013 solar generation was 138.10% of February 2011

    Year-to-date solar generation is 84.91% of Climate-SAF PVGIS
    Year-to-date solar generation is 79.65% of 2012 year-to-date
    Year-to-date solar generation is 118.42% of 2011 year-to-date
