    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!

    Hi Eric, (&M)

    Don't worry ... it's just another profile being created for future trolling/spamming by adding pretty random remarks on pretty random threads ...

    Above are my Power & PV usage for April; nice to see the house has used 58.8% of the Generation. :D

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    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.

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    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!!

    :j:j:j

    Wife tells me solar ocd is getting closer to an all consuming obsession, especially as Raspberry Pi to pvoutput system now seems to work without tinkering!:T
    Fiscally responsible or just a tight git? : :confused:

    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. :D

    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! :D
