    Forgot to post yesterday, 1.77, today is looking promising. 
    4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria. 
  • Following the recent rain, and cloud/sun conditions today I got to see something I rarely see - 2.08kW. Probably the highest reading I've ever seen on the Geo.

    Central Beds, 2.02kWp (9 x 225W) south facing with some morning shade, installed 2011 (£7.16/Wp). Tigo monitoring/optimisers on all panels, Growatt MIC 2000 TL-X Inverter and Solar iBoost installed 2022. (4 x 415W + 6 x 405W garden experiment connected to SunSynk 3.6 hybrid inverter & 2 x 5.3kWh SynSynk batteries) (4 x 405W panels queued to go somewhere)

    Interesting month.  
    Best March since 2015 144% of PVGIS (362KWh) for the older system.  Looks like another panel (2 out of 14) have been hit with degradation.  

    2.6 O on the new system bringing it to 106% (427KWh)  

    Do not want to Jinx it - Great March solar has usually preceded washed out summer  :'(

    Bitterly cold, snow and gales today...so how did I make 3.825 O's🤷🏻‍♂️
    March total 344.8kWh. 2nd best March after 2012 total 364kWh👏

    Probably the same way as I made 4.8 O's   98.4 O's for March, not too bad...   
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
