Your right Oscargrouch there is also another day. .. But is it today? 9.21 kwh today

Not impressed at all, no apology. Considering you had clear sunshine all day in Sheffield; and you only managed to better me by 300Wp... think you ought to be ashamed.....Considering I only had hazy sunshine all day and, I managed to generate £3.57p worth...which equates to 7.6kWh. Back to the drawing board; I think for you Shafeeq....... :rotfl:

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

Anyone get 100%+?

Mart.

Who do you think ? 2.39% above PVGIS for me...

Well I hesitate to say they were "spot on" but some of the forecasters managed a bit better than usual for today !

BBC & Met office were saying "mostly sunny" ; Metcheck reckoned we'd have aroud 40% cloud cover for most of day.

It was in fact spectacularly sunny all day; no more than 10% cloud cover at any point.

We managed 14.71 kWh which has rescued a disastrous month to very nearly 'average'. I'd have needed 150 kWh to match the pvgis forecast I was using or 156 kWh to match the new improved calculator. Actual monthly total was 152 kWh.

Those following my ISA test will be as thrilled as I am to hear that the FIT payment will be approx 2.5 times the 'lost interest'.

No blue skies at all until late afternoon when the sun wasn't in view of the panels, but still scraped a 4.7kWh somehow.

February generation was 158.4kWh, or 95% of the 167kWh PVGIS-Classic estimate. Weekly generation over the month was 51.1kWh, 22.5kWh, 67.2kWh and 17.4kWh, so it definitely had it's ups and downs. Best performance 19th (15.9kWh) and worst 26th (0.7kWh), a ratio of over 20:1!

Thanks to some unexpected sun Wednesday and Thursday, finished Feb with 92.74% of target generated.
As the last time we failed to meet target was Feb 2011 I guess I can't complain too much, although it is obviously disappointing Oh well, new month now!

Cumulative generation, since installation, remains over 121% of predicted figures.

There is no shame in Love and War. Even if you were beaten by 0.01Wp is still a victory lol:rotfl:

As you can see it dawned foggy again today BUT the dun has broken through by 10:30 [The weather forecast says it won't last but at least we are generating > 1 kW now.

Made 81% of PVGIS for Feb.

Bah 1.8kWh short of reaching PVGIS Classic for February (fat chance of Climate). It was all going so well with 16kWh on the 19th Feb but then nothing above 4 until the last day of the month when we got 5.6kWh. I can borrow back the shortfall this month from previous months, but March is going to have to seriously shape up as I need another 100kWh this month (264kWh total ) which means at least 8.5 per day - not looking good at 2.6kWh so far! Still spring must be hiding somewhere surely!
