    3.58 O's which is fine by me as it more than covers what I need and fills the battery, seems poor die to all the good weather recently though.

    1.53 O's for me. Which is a bit more than yesterday. Can't see July being as productive as last July. (I would need to clock up another 29 O's before the end of the month!)

    Worst day so far - 9.0 kWh, 1.88 O's.

    On the brighter side it is a calendar month since our solar was installed (not counting the remainder of the afternoon of the day it was installed):-

    694.7 kWh generated
    637.3 kWh recorded by the meter between the inverter + batts and consumer unit (not sure of the technical name)
    355.8 kWh exported
    148.2 kWh discharged from battery

    So we've consumed 281.5 kWh of our generation, more than half of which came from the batteries and imported 41.6 kWh.
    Solar install June 2022, Bath
    4.8 kW array, Growatt SPH5000 inverter, 1x Seplos Mason 280L V3 battery 15.2 kWh.
