A but "meh" on the 28th.

Good morning. dubious afternoon, 2.8 O's. Three more O's will see us match pvgis for the month.

Roughly three O's needed here, too!

Poor last few days of the month with 1.1 O’s here today. What are the percentages are you talking about? Comparing to what exactly?

Hiya. Just as Coastalwatch says, I do the same, and have a little spreadsheet set up based on PVGIS for my systems. Mine is pre-completed with average generation, then I slowly overwrite it with the actual generation. So at the start of the month it predicts 100%, and slowly revises as the month unfolds.

For instance in September, the entries start at 10kWh per day ESE and 5kWh per day WNW, and then slowly decline to 7 & 3 respectively by the end of Sept. These then get replaced over time, steadily revising the month end projection and then actual month end percentage.

But none of this is at all necessary, I just find it fun to track, so don't apply any importance to the waffle I post.  ;-)


PS @ Oscar. Just hanging on here with no GCH yet, but A/C units have almost gone on, any day now.

Cracking day here, almost a perfect curve, 4.45 O's.

Getting a Hawaii this late in September has got to be good but I made it today, just, with 5.02 Os
Just checked and I've never had one in October and the way the forecast is looking, that looks likely to stay the same

2.875 O's here today.....Mrs L put the CH on tonight😡🤬

Laycity

Better today here, 3.25 Os

No Hawai'i here but still a good day for late September.

11.17kWh, 4.09 O's

That's PVGIS beaten and still a day to go!

Now to go fiddle with the settings on my Sofar and see if I can persuade it to charge my battery overnight ...

3.55 O's so looks like we've made it this month. A rare event this year.

Just half an O here today and finished the month on 91%, our 2nd worst of the year against pvgis. (Only February was lower).
