5.39 O's yesterday, best of the year. Today is probably sunnier, but temps rising fast, so don't know if gen will be higher, fingers crossed.
Month end projection now 93% (up from 90% a few days ago), so May may hit target, toes crossed.
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.7 -

5.74 Os here and using some of that on air conditioning! And three washing machine loads.
PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)6 -
Never hit peak output owing to a combination of high thin cloud and heat. Still nearly got to heaven, but ended at 6.9 Os.

6.76 O's on a perfect day, down a little no doubt due to heat.
Peaked at 6.1kW on a 7.2kWp south facing array (85%), previously we have seen momentary peaks as high as 9.3kW when the sun bursts through between clouds.
Is 85% of kWp rating representative on a hot day like today? I have no idea how hot my panels are, but they have a temperature coefficient of around -0.3-0.35%/degC indicating the panel temp may be 45C above the nominal 25C value (70C panel temp?)
