Another 23.5kWh(5.75 O's) in the bag today, my ESE has now produced 196kWh this month with the PVGIS estimate at 216kWh. WOW 12 days to make 20kWh in the middle of summer......could be a tough ask!!!

In the spirit of this thread I suppose I'd better post some generation figures for the month so far:

Date kWh O's
1-Jul 9.59 4.79
2-Jul 4.44 2.22
3-Jul 4.35 2.17
4-Jul 5.18 2.59
5-Jul 10.39 5.19
6-Jul 10.71 5.36
7-Jul 11.95 5.97
8-Jul 12.68 6.34
9-Jul 12.74 6.37
10-Jul 10.89 5.45
11-Jul 10.89 5.44
12-Jul 7.36 3.68
13-Jul 10.33 5.16
14-Jul 10.76 5.38
15-Jul 11.91 5.96
16-Jul 10.10 5.05
17-Jul 10.65 5.33
18-Jul 11.90 5.95
19-Jul 12.33 6.17

Pretty chuffed with that, by far the best month ever so far and at just under 82% of total SAF PVGIS for July. Day to day variations lately seem more to do with temperature than anything else.

Hi

Try downloading the SMA SunnyDesign software I referenced earlier ... other manufacturers also have installation configuration software but the SMA option was the best when we were comparing panels etc. ... also, it's free and equally as good as systems some installers use ...

23.3kWh in roasting cider country. 383kWh this month against PVGIS monthly target of 417kWh, so 91.2% of target. Looks like weather might be turning next week though, lets hope the forecasters are wrong.

Looking at the forecast here, says the same, with more cloud and some rain arriving from Tuesday onwards, and for the rest of the week.

Gen last two days, thurs - little bit of white in the sky, 25.5kWh 4.57 Os and fri - clear blue, and better breeze, 30.9kWh, 5.54 Os. Whilst my Os are consistently lower than the 'southers' I'm extremely chuffed.

88% of July in the bag, and if average for the rest of the month, will hit 125% with 741kWhs. :cool:

Slightly cooler yesterday so back up to 25kWh

~600kWh still on the horizon

Need it to make up for dismal start to the year Inverter was off for most of Jan and Feb. In March the panels were covered in snow!

Cheers

System passed the 8000 kWh yesterday. Like everyone else July is exceeding expectations so far, another 40 kWh required to meet PVIS for July. Making up for the very poor Jan Feb Mar. Annualised generation is almost exactly as predicted.

Clouded over around 16.30 but still made 5.94 O's yesterday:D
Sat and Sun forecast here does not look good....Hope they're wrong again;)

Another reasonably good day. Nice smooth curve apart from cloudy spell around 3pm gave daily total of 25kWh.

Now reached 93.5% of July's pvgis forecast. Another couple of 20+ days and we'll pass it. But it doesn't look as though today will be one of those days - it's been pretty overcast so far. I would say "just as forecasters said" except that all of them said cloudy all day and we've already had several brief glimpses of sun with 2kW being generated for a few minutes. Also, one of them assured us of steady light rain from 7am - 1pm and that just hasn't happened.
