    Not so good - 3.46 O's - but the next couple of days should be fine.

    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 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)

    Close but no cigar - a lovely 4.93 O's yesterday.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.

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