Well today has been considerably cooler, with quite a lot of thin cloud and so I wasn't expecting anything like the output values I've seen for the past week.So I'm quite please with how things turned out.13.14kWh, 4.03 O'sMy run of Hawaiii's is broken but still pretty good, all things considered! I wonder if the cooler temperatures have allowed panel efficiency to rise a bit?N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile. Ripple Kirk Hill member.

Forgot to say yesterday that my systems saw a couple of nice 'triple zero' milestones in July. The original E system (10yrs old next month), hit 30,000kWh a couple of weeks ago, and the smaller W system (9yrs old in a few days) hit 13,000kWh a week ago.
Over the ten years we've consumed about 30,000kWh's of leccy (roughly 50:50 PV v's import), so a net export of around 13,000kWh.
Lately, with the rollout of one, now two small A/C units for heat, and the arrival of a BEV or two, I think we're now consuming about 5,000kWh pa (again split roughly 50:50 import v's PV), with PV averaging about 4,450kWh pa.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.5 -

Until late last evening dear SE was only showing output up to 10 am yesterday! This afternoon it appears to have caught up and advise of 3.22 O's. So on a day forecast mostly cloudy with rain then I guess we got off lightly. No idea if it's my system at fault or SE! Today it's logged up to 2.30pm and then nothing in the last two hours!
