Another day, another 20kWh+ for 12th day running. 22.0kWh today taking us over 6MWh and up to 317kWh for the month so far. PVGIS target is 417kWh (highest monthly target of the year) so we've got 76% of that in the tank already.
The daily generation graph for this month is nothing short of unprecedented compared to any month since installation.Cider Country Solar PV generator: 3.7kWp Enfinity system on unshaded SE (-36deg azimuth) & 45deg roof0 -

Combination of heat and cloud...

Yet another disappointing sub 30 day - 29.5kWh 5.29 Os. Hardly seems worth checking the numbers. :cool:;):D
I think I'm in the same boat as Eric and SDJ (possibly pea-green?), with ~76% of July target in the bag already. Plus import is only just over 2kWhs per day, with 33kWhs as at last evening, lowest month ever ..... if ..... famous last words.
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

Perhaps the same applies to generation meters.
Neither of my import meters gas and electric) have been read by E-on in (just) over 2 years

Our installation was in October 2011 so we missed out on what sounds like a stellar May performance?

Need help please. One salesman has told me that because i have the old type analogue electric meter because these don`t work with correctly with PV systems i will have to get it replaced at a cost to me. Could add £300 - £500 to the cost. Is he correct?
Thanks
