    Halfway through October and I'm surprised at the projected 110% of target. I think each day has been a smidge over target, so it's snuck up on me.

    With about 7% of the year's total gen still to come, and the year end projection of 107%, means we're entering gravy territory for 2022 now ...... unless generation goes negative(?)

    Sun most of today gave us 3.2 O's; incidentally, being away for a few days at the start of the month and over 1/2 way through, we have only clocked up 41 kWh used so far.  
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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