    31.3kWh:eek: I can only dream of generating that much :o

    New best ever, 34kWh's, but the truth is hidden in the O's ..... only 6.1.

    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.

    28.9 kWh yesterday.

    This of course is the time of year when my 'too flat' roof is actually better than the 45deg pitch which is probably 'average'. Therefore hoping for lots of sun during next six weeks or so when this remains true.

    Yesterday's generation curve was almost a perfect "bell shape". Alas, top of curve was 'only' 3.4 kW rather than the 4.1 I might have hoped for but I can live with the disappointment.

    Thanks Eric, I'm having a few days away with the family on the east coast. With clear blue skies all day since i got here it set me wondering how my systems were performing. Pretty well judging by your generation. Shame the only thing feeding off my free leccy is the freezer and seperate fridge. Looks like it'll all be exported. Oh well, I'll console myself in the knowledge i'm "earning" over a tenner a day:D

    25.32kw or 6.88 "o's" yesterday, today is pretty similar, production more or less over for today, but 73kw over the bank holiday.

    Only had the system installed for 24 days and about 385kw produced, which even with some of the lousy weather is still about 50kw up on predicted.

    Very happy monitor watcher so far!

    Total 39.22kWh (6.58 Os). Best day since 26/6/2011 on system 1 (18.574 kWh) and 20.646 kWh system 2 - best day ever (6.89 Os).

    System 2 continues to beat system 1 by 10% each day despite the shading. The power optimisers seem to be doing their work very well.

    System 2 has just gone over 1MWh - up an running since 12/12/2012.

    Didn't have high hopes for today given the forecast, but still managed a 20.4kWh (5.51 O's).

    6.75 O's or 27kWh today:D

    Reached 5MWh since install in Nov 2011.

    Considering this period (18 months) included a double dose of all the worst producing months, I'm well pleased:T

    Forecast til the end of May looks poor....hope it's wrong;)
