I don't know what my monthly figures are. I do know though that my ESE should do 639kWh for the last quarter(01/04-30/06) and i'm currently on 679kWh(+40 on the quarter:j)

My SSW with late shading issue is on 625kWh for the quarter but should do 659kWh(5 days to go so still do-able:o)

Well todays the day pop pickers. Another 5.25 O's bagged today(still generating but hey ho)

My ESE needed 639kWh and managed 721kWh...82 over estimate
My SSW needed 659kWh and managed 662kWh..3 over estimate, not bad really when I consider this system is badly affected by the house next door, I reckon I lose about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight late on and yet for the last quarter its still managed to make target:j

And here's something to make a few of us smile at least, taken from the BBC's website

Monday 1 July—Sunday 7 July

Azores high tantalizingly close.

Something strange is happening. The Azores High is expected to continue to influence our weather in the second week. This produces a more 'normal' Summer pattern, but one that has been lacking over the last few years.
Basically as the high extends across the south of the UK it should be mainly dry here with a little sunshine. However for northern areas there will be more mobility as Atlantic lows run round the top of the Azores High to give spells of rain. As we have predominately westerly winds don't expect a heatwave.
So, broadly we are developing a north-south split.
Monday 8 July—Sunday 21 July

Is it going to warm up?

The more settled weather in the south may extend further north but this is not guaranteed. All areas will have some rain at times but again southern areas will have very little. It will feel warm in the sunshine but temperatures still no better than slightly above average

Forecasts issued last night suggested that today would be pretty much like yesterday, perhaps a bit better but not a lot.

Actually, it was a lot better ! 20.86 kWh bringing June's generation to 19.1% above pvgis forecast.

Slight worry that tomorrow's forecasts are now saying it should be better than today - let's hope they've got one right at last !

Technically, they were right - today was indeed better than yesterday : but not by the degree forecasters suggested.
22.94kWh today.

That brings month's generation to 541 kWh - my best ever month. 24.4% more than pvgis 'revised classic' suggested. :T

Not quite the best ever % excess - that honour is still held by March 2012 with 46.9% above (unrevised) pvgis classic) but of course that was 46.9% of not a lot; this month's figures are much greater,

What can I say about June 2013.. My system generated 307.16 kwh which was 10 % above prediction. It was highest ever generated.

To top it at least twice this month it beat Oscargrouch's system, that was the icing on the cake lol

Figures yesterday 10.49 kwh / 3.49 O's
Today 10.16 kwh / 3.38 O's

Nahh forget it, enjoy the 'at least twice'...

6.64 O's today; too many clouds around....
CU Meter = 97 kWh; Usage =278.57 kWh so used 65.18% from PV in June '13 without paying for it....
Today 35.33 % above PVGIS for June; last June, 2012 only 8% above....
By the end of June 2012 had clocked up 1411.6 kWh This June managed 1437.5 kWh, close, but better.....

Edit: Not bad Shafeeq, 102.38666 O's compared to my 138.04 O's for June..:rotfl:

Not a bad day, got 18.9kWh or 3.4 Os.

Monthly stats:

System: M1(ESE) 3.58kWp

Total generation: 433kWh (2012 343kWh)

Generation per kWp: 120.95kWh


System: M2(WNW) 2.0kWp

Total generation: 230.1kWh

Generation per kWp: 115.05kWh

Silly facts:
- highest ever month with total 663.1kWh
- first 2 months in a row over PVGIS climate since Feb & Mch 2012
- lowest import month with 78kWh

Mart.

2 cracking days to finish the month, 11.43 and 11.10 kWh (5.71 and 5.55 O's) bringing the June total to 223.92 kWh, only 4% below SAF PVGIS in the end and over 13% better than last June. Quarterly reading submitted to Scottish Power, should have payment in two weeks or so.

That would have been true last time and indeed any time over last two years. But service has gone downhill lately ( see recent thread ) - my last payment was processed (with an error introduced) on 29th day after submission and then took nearly another week to arrive in bank account ! Not all bad news though - I eventually got the missing few pounds along with £30 'compensation' and an assurance that they're hoping to do better in future.

6.75 Os yesterday and 497.66 total reading for June the highest since install.... If only I had not had it all switched off while I sorted out the power shower / Solar Immersion problem I would probably have made the magic 500.

legoman62

Just over 5 O's yesterday:D
Brought June total to 505.8kWh....a new monthly record :beer:
Beat PVGIS Classic by 20% and Climate-SAF by 10%:rotfl:
