    Not as productive as Saturday, but an acceptable result for Sunday with A/an  + 0.36 O's.  Made over 100% more this 1/4 compared to Nov '20 - Feb  '21 Total.     
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    15.63kWh, 5.75 O's :)
    I've not been doing this long enough to know how this compares with my installer's predictions or PVGIS but I'm very happy with the past few days! Also I've only imported 3kWh in the past 24h.
    My minim monitor is reading 17.46kWh, but (as mentioned 20 posts upthread) I'm sure it reads high at the ends of the day when output is low.
