    Looked like a good day but cold then the clouds just came over and parked themselves overhead. Around 2 minutes of Sun at midday but obviously decided too cold and nipped off to warmer places!

    2.24 O's

    About 1.5 days ahead of the curve. Lets see what today brings!

    Better than yesterday but another day below PVGIS. Finally had sun around 3:30'ish when it was getting too late to be useful. 1.4 & 0.7 O's

    How do you get a daily PVGIS? Do you just divide the monthly value by the number of days? Or did you get the daily profile to work?
    I just simply divide the monthly PVGIS figure by the number of days in the month. Not sure if there are better ways, but the day-2-day changes will be very small.

    1.95 O's and 15.7kWh.
    8kW (4kW WNW, 4kW SSE) 6kW inverter. 6.5kWh battery.
  • 9.3kWhrs, 2.15 O's

    I've realised today that I have already generated 3.8MWhrs this year, compared to last year's 3.0MWhrs (that was only 11 months, but excluded January).

    Also got my first month's credit since joining Octopus Outgoing Agile, today. Earned over £100 vs last months £28 on fixed and exported less (266kWhrs vs 379kWhrs). It worked out at an average of 38p/kWhr, which is more than my day import rate!

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