3.71 O's yesterday. We got a lot of rain Mon night, but the massive rain that hit much of the UK, mostly dodged S. Wales.
Month end projection now 115%. Mixed bag of weather (forecast) now to month end, so no idea if that will go up, or down.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.4 -

Moderately good day here in Bath today: 24.0 kWh, 5.0 O's exactly.
It's exactly a year since the panels + batts were installed, we have generated 4444 kWh, imported 1829 kWh from the grid, exported 1853 kWh to the grid and discharged 1364 kWh from the batts. The Growatt app gives our consumption as 3878 kWh.
PVGIS gives an estimate of 4560 kWh/year which seems close enough, so I'm pretty pleased.Solar install June 2022, Bath

A 5.85O's for us, on day with sun & cloud and a rain cleared atmosphere. A mere 3.91O's from a garden array which I'm messing around with, but which I think will ultimately end up south facing squeezed on to the roof.
I've been messing around with Home Assistant, and the heat graph for yesterday is concerning - a recorded high of 64.8c, outside of the max working range of 60c. The inverter is located in a loft.
I've ordered a 6" 15W fan and thermostat controller socket to see if I can rig up some air movement around the cooling fins to try and ensure it gets less 'Sunday roast'.
