That's remarkable - are you sure the PVGIS forecast used accurate data? For us to reach those levels by this stage in the month we'd have needed to produce over 25kWh every day, but our best day's only been (a pretty decent) 22.5kWh.NedS said:March has been exceptional here too, continuing on from the last week in February.We are currently at 114% of our PVGIS prediction for the whole month, and we are only at the half way point!This is my first year of solar so no previous records to compare against, but the last 3 weeks have been exceptional for us.
Hopefully you'll continue to smash the predictions!You are absolutely right - it is too remarkable!I forgot to update the PVGIS predicted figure for March when I duplicated this months sheet from Feb in my spreadsheet, so was still working off February's prediction. My apologies.We currently stand at 83% of our March prediction having achieved 68.5 O's for the month to date which puts us around 35% ahead of target. Tomorrow is looking like another near perfect solar day.
