    A few days ago I said there were no more targets (admittedly arbitrary!) to watch out for, but June +10% would nudge 700kWh's ..... hmmm too soon! ;)

    24.3kWh Wednesday or 6.6 O's. Cloudy start to today but generating over 3.4kW now.

    We've generated 116.7kWh in the first 5 days of June and it's likely we'll beat our record week of 151.9kWh (first 7 days of May) if the forecast holds true: need to beat 17.6kWh per day for Thursday and Friday.

    If June continues as it has started we'll hit 700kWh too, but that's 76% above our PVIGS-Classic estimate of 398kWh and would be 94% higher than last year's 359.9kWh.

    Hawaii 6.29 O's for me ;) - first ever four consecutive 6+ (12 kWh) days. Looks like there might be a bit too much cloud tomorrow to make it five, though Saturday looking perfect at the moment.

    A day of two halves !

    Took till 11am to get to 1kW but then sun came out and we shot up to 3.7kW by 12:15. Tapered back down after that but still generating @ 1W

    Daily total 21.6 kWh

    Forecast for next few days is hopeful - but then I always am (but disappointed a lot:D )

    Today my Solar Panels whereb one year old. My installers estimated that it will generate 2455. The actual generation for the year was 2070, so it was short by 385 kwh that is a big difference. Oh well nothing I can do now lol.

    Back to today. . In morning it was cloudy and sun was out just before afternoon. . it generated 13.28 kwh or 4.42 O's.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Actually looking back at two other quotes I had for Solar Panel installation they 1) estimated 2024 so It actually generated more :T

    The 2nd quote I had estimated 2060 :j

    So it actually generated more then these two estimates :rotfl::j:T

    This is only to make myself happy
