Projecting 101% for Apr, with the last days looking like they'll boost that.
Unfortunately, my 2.1kWp steep pitch south facing groundmount panels are now getting shading, as they sit in the garden between a large Magnolia tree (to the SE) and the house (to the SW). so my %age's will suffer a bit, but that's OK, they are generating loads, and work perfectly in the winter.
Good times ahead.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.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.6 -

Me too, but had to settle for 5.88 O's. It was a perfect curve as well so reckon the warmer temps put the skids under it!East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical.

Dang it.
Briefly virtually visited Hawaii yesterday, but then realised my ickle WNW system had generated 6.5 O's, that's more than ever before (since 2012 install). Turns out I'd recorded the figure the day before wrong.
After correcting, the whole system total came down to 4.93 O's.
The Hawaii 5O music is calling to me ...... maybe today, maybe tomorrow.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.
