Weather has not been great, but at least not as bad as the forecasts. Month end projection still slipping, but at 95% …. could be worse.
My ickle WNW system should reach 20,000kWh since install (July 2012) this month.
My old PVGIS estimate was 679kWh/kWp. And it's actually managed about 714kWh/kWp. Deducting another 5% to better match the slightly pessimistic default system losses (14%) that PVGIS uses, takes it to 678.6kWh/kWp, so hats off to PVGIS.

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.
