Rather a mixed bag here today, rain turning to heavy cloud then breaking up a bit later in the day.10.33kWh, 3.80 O'sSpies said:3.19, very intermittent cloud though which made utilising it difficult and export was very low today, under 7p at times!Edit: screenshot from Energy Stats for everyone's info:N.

Very happy with yesterday.
Hawaii + 0.89 O's
Spent the day around 15 miles away and most of the day was overcast and dark with rainclouds. Although it stayed dry.

As suspected just 2.2 O's for yesterday but with wind chipping in 1.3 O's brought our total to 42 kWh's levelling things up a treat. Surprisingly with only six weeks to the longest day wind supplied the greater share at 52%.

I've not posted in this thread for a while, and following changes to my reporting spreadsheet, here's an update.
Up to 24.02.22 we had issues with the Tigo optimisers 'shutting down' random panels after the installation, the problem was resolved by Tigo by applying an update to the CCA. Until resolved the problem resulted in lost production on the impacted south'ish panels, and no production from the impacted East'ish panels as there was insufficient voltage from the unimpacted panels on the string to fire the MTTP port into life.
Best days generation from the south'ish panels so far was 25.04.22 (6.9 O's)
Best days generation from the East'ish panels so far was 29.04.22 (4.0 O's)
Our consumption has increased as we are dumping excess generation (when available) into the hot water tank after the battery has been filled.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Interesting data, @ggmf, and almost seven O's from your south'ish array is impressive!Here, today, it was wet and mostly dull. It did brighten up a bit in the late afternoon (which helped the total) but we also had a short power cut (which didn't).6.41kWh, 2.36 O'sN. Hampshire, he/him.

3.9 today, I was seeing 1kw at 7:15pm so I guess the sun is high enough to miss casting a shadow from the neighbours chimney, a full day of sun would be interesting, very real chance of a Maiden.4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.3
