Couldn't make yesterday's total but 5.925 O's today is fine👏

Better today, 6.3 O's for the second Maiden of the month, Just maybe things are looking up.

Today was good for me - Hawaii but not quite a Maiden.

15.53kWh, 5.71 O's

That Maiden is still elusive but I managed a good solid Hawaii today.

15.12kWh, 5.59 O's

5.53 O's yesterday, and similar for the previous 4 days. Heat is staggering, the 2kW West system was outputting just 1.2kW late afternoon yesterday in shaded temps of 34C. July prediction has risen quickly from 98% to 105% since the 13th.

Twin aircon downstairs is doing great, lovely temps of about 22C, but the heat upstairs is horrific, almost a physical blow as you walk up the stairs and your head comes level with the landing floor ....... I'm not a sun lover, and don't cope well with these temps!

Hi Mart, a friend of mine has a simillar problem in that he lives in a two up two down house with ASHP in the downstairs lounge which is great for heating in winter as heat rises. But in the summer he suffers exactly the same as yourself.

Could a third unit up on the second floor and furthest away from the stairs be on the cards, or would all the cold air just escape back down the stairs leaving upstairs roasting still!

Cloudy start but ended up with 5.8 O's.

Three Hawaii's in a row for me! I guess that's Hawai'i, Maui and O'ahu

13.65 kWh, 5.02 O's.

I think I've had the same problem with hot panels and temperature de-rating that Martyn mentioned. My array outputs have been 20% down on nominal, only ~2.1 kW in the early afternoon when I'd be expecting to see much (well, a bit) more than that and saturate the 2.5kW inverter.
