A decent 3.95 Os today.
Saw an irradiance of 630W/m2 briefly, and my inverter was up to its maximum continuous output, from time to time. My array is only marginally oversize and I was surprised that maximum output would occur so far below the reference irradiance of 1000W/m2.

Got my best day of the year, but just failed to enjoy a nice cup of TyphOOO, with 2.98 O's.
Rough start for the month means only projecting 89% for month end, and the forecast for the next week doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.
