3.15 O's here today......maybe tomorrow?🤔

No...and not tomorrow either!🤬2.1 O's today😡

Looks like a mixed day for my fellow MSE'ers. I'm kinda in the middle, better than 2 O's but not 4.

8.51kWh, 3.13 O's.

The last four days have dragged things down, now projecting 98% for July, but looking at the weather forecast, the next week is going to be very sunny, and very hot. I suspect we're going to have to break out the A/C soon.

And of course with St Swithin's Day tomorrow,  we can hope for six weeks of unbroken sunshine ! (but don't bank on it  )

That's more like it for July, 6.3 O's. 👍
Back up from 89% to 95% for the month, and the next 10 days looking promising. 🤞

13.66kWh, 5.02 O's - a full Hawaii and the best day in four weeks!

I'm roughly 4 O's behind where PVGIS thinks I should be at this stage in the month, but the forecast is looking *very* promising

Sadly, just 2.5 here in spite of promising forecasts. Oh well, maybe better tomorrow!

Slow start today.....but great afternoon👏
Made 4.975 O's. Pity over 1/2 of it went to the grid!😡

PVGIS doesn't 'think' anything about performance for this month or even this year !   It's quite simply an indication of what your average output for each day would have been had you fitted your panels 30 years ago.

It's also a mistake to try and use performance in the first portion of a month to try and guess what the full month might deliver.

PVGIS doesn't 'think' anything ...

Thank you Eric, it's a figure of speech rather than a statement of fact.
