    Another good day here, tho' not quite up to KevinG's standards!
    10.51kWh, 3.86 O's B)
    So far for the month I've generated 89% of PVGIS in 58% of the month. Or, put another way, I'm on 153% of PVGIS pro-rata :o  However I'm not expecting this to last - tomorrow's looking dull dull dull ...
    EDIT: I've just realised that, as of today, I've generated more in 2022 than in 2021 :smiley:

    2.6 & 0.6 O's, Passed the £1K marker today, if we had had to purchase the amount of electricity generated, used or exported since install. We planned for a ROI of 7.5 to 8 years, now it's around 4.5 years, but will depend on future unit costs. Generated value excludes units that were exported, but do not include the £0.04 SEG payment (still waiting). Hope that makes sense.
