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.N. Hampshire, he/him.

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.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

And of course with St Swithin's Day tomorrow, we can hope for six weeks of unbroken sunshine !

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. 🤞Scott in Fife, 2.9kwp pv SSW facing, 2.7kw Fronius inverter installed Jan 2012 - 14.3kwh Seplos Mason battery storage with Lux ac controller - Renault Zoe 40kwh, Corsa-e 50kwh, Zappi EV charger and Octopus Go4 -
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!

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.QrizB said: 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
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.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
Thank you Eric, it's a figure of speech rather than a statement of fact.EricMears said:
