With generation fading and down to 50 W's here on the east coast I'm happy to call it a day at 4.05 O's and 106% for Aug so far. Also spotted the generation meter tripped over 70 MW's since install. It's taken 7years 4 months to the day to reach and is also 106% of that forecast according to PVGIS ver 5.3.One very happy bunny.East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical. Nissan Leaf plus Zappi charger and 2 x ASHP's. Givenergy 8.2 & 9.5 kWh batts, 2 x 3 kW ac inverters. Indra V2H . CoCharger Host, Interest in Ripple Energy & Abundance.7

What I thought was going to be perpetual gloom turned out to be an interesting, if erratic, day. Firstly, overnight rain had given the panels an overdue clean, so my early output was significantly higher than the irradiance figures would suggest. I also think the low pressure has cleared away the thin high haze that seems to knock output back disproportionately, so I saw irradiances of over 1kW/m2, for brief periods, giving exports of over 4 kW, albeit fairly briefly. But there were also fairly prolonged cloudy periods.
Ended at a better than expected 3.18 Os.7 -
