    7.41 O's yesterday 

    I'm sure that I would have probably broken my personal PV record yesterday if cloud hadn't rolled in at 17:30, perfect bell curve till that point

    Despite a very small amount of cloud or something that took a few little nibbles out of the curve early in the morning, yesterday just beat the day before to become my best day yet at 34.4 kWh and 7.17 O's 

    Today was good but not near-perfect: 24.6 kWh, 5.13 O's

    Another record for us yesterday, a Maiden + 0.6 or 23.9kWh. Still a little short of heaven, although given how smooth the curve was, I'm not sure there's much more ours can give with only 1/3 of the array pointing west.



    Bit less impressive 3.5 It's today, but at least the sun came out for the evening peak.
    3.6 kW PV in the Midlands - 9x Sharp 400W black panels - 6x facing SE and 3x facing SW, Solaredge Optimisers and Inverter. 400W Derril Water (one day). Octopus Flux
