That's actually more than my 4Kwp system which only managed 9.5 Kwh today. We had a couple of sunny spells - obviously edge of cloud was only a little way North.

First half-decent day for June - 8.54kWh (2kWp system). Anniversary of the installation of my system, total for year 1890kWh, which at least is above predicted.

First 9 days of June have been woeful. Average 10.2kWh/day but at least today was the first decent day at 22.3kWh.

Oh look it's 2am, I guess I'm fulfilling Mart's stereotype.

Shafeeq it sounds like you have a supply meter that is running backwards. You should notify your electricity supplier in writing and keep a copy for your records. Eventually they might get round to fitting you a meter that doesn't go backwards.

Hi Slay-dog-jonah

Yes I have an old meter which goes backward. In the FIT form it ask does your meter goes backward, I have ticked YES. I postef the forms yesterday. The panels have been up 3 days total so far about 18kwh.

I think the weather is getting to me!

I noticed the monitor was registering around 3.5kW yesterday and thought 'that's just like back in May', before my brain could slap me hard and point out it's June, it's supposed to be generating like that.

Got a 19, but has it really been this bad for this long?

Last 3 months have had bad starts, but 2 of them pulled back. I'm starting to think it'll take a supernovae to rescue June's stats.

Unless it's our own Sun (in which case electricity generation will cease to worry you) I don't think any supernova would make a measurable contribution to your output.


Agree it's not been a 'Flaming June' so far (more of a 'flaming June :mad: ' ) but there's almost three weeks of it left yet and I'm quietly confident we'll get at least a couple of Sunny days before then.

Applying my personal test for "was it worth it", I need to earn £31 per month to beat ISA returns. So far in this (awful) June I've recorded 91Kwh or just over £42. Highly likely to earn a lot more in rest of month.

Thinking you may well be right there Mart: managed to squeeze 10.2kWh out yesterday, had a couple of slightly better days this month nothing over 11kWh though. As of this moment, doing a massive 500w, and already logged 0.8kWh today already.:rotfl::j

£42.77 to be precise inc. gen tariff. :rotfl:

But you can't of course be 'precise' unless you know the exact generation figures - already 92.6 and almost certain (barring an unexpected total eclipse ) to be even higher by lunchtime.
