    Sunday and Monday I got 4 O's & 1.5 O's respectively (it rained all day yesterday).

    Week 1 total 183kWh's, week 2 total 94kWh's - Wow!

    @Eric, Sunday forecast, solid sun's each hour till 10am, then dark grey clouds with light rain with a small sun peeking out from behind for each hour till evening.

    Actual, grey clouds with light rain and little sun till 11am, then gorgeous sun rest of the day. Lawns dried and mowed by early afternoon. I'm resigned to MKI eyeball and window method of 'forecasting'.

    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Not too shabby a day considering the cloudy start: 17kWh or 4.6 O's.

    At the mid-point(ish) in the month generation so far is 248.1kWh or 16.5kWh/day. PVGIS target for the month is 413kWh or 13.3kWh/day so pro-rata we are 24% ahead of target, or looking at it the other way we've bagged 60% of target in 15 days out of 31. Generation in May 2012 by contrast was 444kWh, 7.5% above target.

    Had a look back at our Geo Solo PV to work out the daily generation while we were away a couple of weeks back: April generation was 405.8kWh vs PVGIS target of 367kWh (10.6% above target).

    We also had a new record single day on 1st May: 24.7kWh (6.68 O's) which eclipsed our previous best day (26/05/12): 24.4kWh.

    We also had a spell at the end of April and beginning of May where for 7 days out of 9 generation exceeded 20kWh each day, with a 16.8kWh and a 19.6kWh in the middle.

    Edit: forgot to add that we also reached 5MWh today. Happy days!
