Another "12" - well happy with that. 12.03 kWh (6.01 O's). Still yet to crack 13 but have come within 0.04. I know it can be done, in fact I reckon I should be able to get 14 in ideal conditions, they just haven't happened in nearly 2 years!2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0

It's turning out to be a great week so far. Another 19 today after 20 yesterday. Just under 7 Os.
April had the best result since July 2012 and we set a new record for the most generation in a day so there was actually some positive news for the cold weather.

Yipee,
inverter just closed down after producing 5,85 O's today,
a great start to the month with 11.22 O's, 9.86% of the months prediction in two days!!

Just switched off and I've made 12.86 kWh today (6.43 O's), my fourth highest ever.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0

Tomorrow's (Thu) forecast looks to be a repeat of today's (Wed) forecast. Can only hope that tomorrows actual will be as good as today has been.
Apart from a few short cloudy intervals, today was pretty sunny all day. 23.55kWh
I suppose that in fairness to forecasters I could add that looking directly upwards we did seem to have a small gap in an otherwise cloudy sky for most of afternoon. No doubt somebody in next village could be thinking what an accurate forecast they were given today.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

5.376344086 O's. Not just a record, but 30kWh's exactly. Yippee.
Actually, bit worried that I'd cheated. The WNW system showed 10 on a TGM with 1 decimal place. But the ESE showed 20 on a TGM accurate to 'no' decimals, so might have borrowed some from yesterday, or lent some to tomorrow. Inverters total 19.98kWh's, but before you all rush to say that's not a true 30 total, the ESE inverters consistently under-read by 1.4%.
Yes, I'm that desperate to crack 30, that I'm claiming 20.26kWh's + 10kWh's.
Boy, this is getting sadder by the minute!
Mart.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.
