Only just a smidgen over 4kWh for me today. I blame the transit of Venus for eclipsing the sun.

You mean the one that's due tomorrow morning?
My figure was 10.72 kWh.

Thanks Eric and (particularly) Martyn for putting me straight on those figures. Wish I'd looked into the east-west option more thoroughly than I did a few months ago; I may have been able to persuade my mother to have her roof 'done'

I've beaten you again (just) 11.40Kwh

Never a very high peak (2.2 Kw max) but not quite so many or so deep troughs as yesterday. Sort of a steady background glare through the clouds most of day.

That's in contrast to yesterday. I never saw the final figure but it certainly topped 23 kWh.
I'm quite surprised your max today was so low, though. I had the immersion heater on for 5 minutes early afternoon, hovering around 3 kW. I also got a few readings nearer to 4 kW, including one of about 4150W (emerging from cloud). However, this may be because my inverter display measures every 5 seconds; does your monitor have a longer (therefore more averaged) measuring interval?

I only ever use 'Sunny Explorer'. That shows 'instantaneous' readings but even I'm not quite sad enough to sit and watch them . The figures it graphs (and exports) are averages over 5 mins and those are the 'peaks & troughs' of my comments.

Don't think it was pushing anything out, it was just feeding itself

That's the one! :shhh: Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Pah 4.9kWh yesterday - clearly celebrating the Queen's [STRIKE]rain [/STRIKE]reign! Still at least the panels have had a good wash down, and we covered the interest cost so not the end of the world. Today looks a lot better - nearly 1kWh by the time I left at 8am!

For the whole day 10.5kWh; on the bright side max peak was 3.115kW :j Don't think so:rotfl:
