Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"
Comments

After so many days of good generation today came as a bit of a shock, only 9.4 kWh or 1.96 O's. In fact it's the second worst day since I started recording daily figures on 7 July - only 22/07 was worse with 9.0 kWh. It was overcast but didn't seem that bad, unlike the really heavy cloud on 22/07, so I checked against the other two systems in Bath that regularly report to PVoutput and they are very similar.
See https://pvoutput.org/comparem.jsp?sid=91721&sid1=18283,9570 - I'm green, I'm guessing the system in red had some sort of reporting error on 03/08.Solar install June 2022, Bath

At least the rain was welcome, the garden will benefit and hopefully it washed some of the grime off the panels too.I really can't complain, it's 1/2 way through August and I'm at 2/3rds of PVGIS already.N.
