    3O's yesterday kept us on track, but a gloomy 1.5 O's today has set us back a bit. Need 3.1 O's every day until the end of the month to hit the target.

    On the 8th March 2022 we fitted 4.4 kWh solar array in that month we recorded 356kWh despite being 8 days short this month we have only just recorded 228kWh, we achieved better figures in February 231kWh, now they are predicting a wet April ?

    @Oscarmax very similar here. Ours was fitted 3rd March 22 and we achieved 371kWh of the PVGIS 381kWh prediction in that month. This year we're at 230kWh with just 5 poor looking days to go.

    Every good day balanced by a poor one - so still predicting 83% and 1kWh over 50MWh (since install(s)).
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
  • A good 4.45 O's today. Might reach March target after all!

    On sunny days in the mid to late afternoon my generation curve seems to lessen quicker than it should (not lots but .5  ish) and then later afternoon it jumps back up again. No clouds or shading seems to be causing this.

    Up until lunch time is working perfect.

    Anyone have a thought on this?

    Compared to what we have been receiving, todays figures are more then welcome - 4.2 & 2.043 O's highest generation so far this year, weatherman says the rest of the week is going to be cloudy and rain again.
