Another good day here, tho' not quite up to KevinG's standards!10.51kWh, 3.86 O'sSo 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
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 2021N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile. Ripple Kirk Hill member.

2nd worst day of the month!
A whole 1.127 O's today!
Passed PVGIS for the month after 19 days.
Only 28 kWh needed to make my 2nd best October, or 74 kWh to be my best October and 12 days to do it.

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.2 Separate arrays, 7 x JASolar 380w panels (2.66kWp) south facing, 4 x JASolar 380w panels (1.52kWp) east facing, 11 x Tigo optimizers & cloud, Growatt SPH5000, Growatt 6.5kWh Hybrid battery (Go-live 01/12/21) - Additional reporting via Solar Assistant.3
