Cloudless skies but a slight haze took the edge off generation, so only 4.4 Os and 5.5 Os from the ENE and WSW roof panels. The ground mount showed the benefit of being able to track the sun. I was out from 8.10am to 12.20 pm so had to go for a compromise orientation otherwise it would have perhaps edged up to 9 Os. As it was 6.25kWh from 700w array gave 8.9 Os. The peaks and troughs indicate when I moved the panels.
Roof mounted generation for comparison.
Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kWwest facing panels , 3.6 kWeast facing), Solis inverters installed 2018, 5kW SSE facing system (shaded in afternoon) added in 2025 with Tesla PW3 battery, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted A2A Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner.1 -

Misty and overcast until 10:30, hence only 4.43 O's. Looks like a similar start to today.
