    Good job I've already smashed all monthly records because today was pathetic, 1.86kWh, easily the worst day of the month. Tomorrow doesn't look a lot better, Thursday looks fantastic, but that's a whole nother month. :)

    Just 7kWh short of 7000 kWh since installation (15 Aug 2011) so confident we'll pass that landmark this week

    Yes ! Made that 7kWh before lunch; Day yield 17.72 kWh

    Now 31% above July pvgis forecast.

    4.45 O's = yesterday:D

    Hiya

    Since my last posting

    15 July 15.44 kwh / 5.15 O's
    16 July 13.52 kwh / 4.51 O's
    17 July 13.88 kwh / 4.63 O's
    18 July 11.75 kwh / 3.92 O's
    19 July 14.89 kwh / 4.96 O's
    20 July 5.16 kwh / 1.72 O's
    21 July 2.30 kwh / 0.77 O's
    22 July 7.30 kwh / 2.43 O's
    23 July 5.55 kwh / 1.85 O's
    24 July 10.01 kwh / 3.34 O's
    25 July 10.31 kwh / 3.44 O's
    26 July 10.44 kwh / 3.48 O's
    27 July 9.47 kwh / 3.16 O's
    28 July 6.00 kwh / 2 O's
    29 July 9.15 kwh / 3.05 O's
    30 July 14.16 kwh / 4.72 O's

    19% more then last year. Highest months generation since I had the system. I was hoping for better generation then this with the weather we had, but due to the shading issue and the weather was way too hot.. The system didn't go above 2.2 kwh during the heat wave... Today weather NO good.. will be lucky to get 1 kwh today...

    Perhaps you need to divert some excess generation into heating your swimming pool ? :D

    :rotfl: :T:T:T :rotfl:

    Some times I pitch em, just to see if anyone wants to hit em out of the park. :D

    Yesterday got 22.9 (4.1 Os), today won't hit target, but tonight's number crunching will be very interesting with more than 3/4MWh in July. Still shocked, still smiling :D still winking away for all I'm worth. ;)

    Not a brilliant day - but far better than forecasters predicted. They said cloudy all day, heavy rain all afternoon. We actually had a few sunny intervals (albeit rather hazy sunshine) and rain was never really all that heavy although tanks are again at 100%.

    Day yield 7.164 kWh
    July total 579.15 kWh (32.8% above pvgis) :T


    Just about to switch off inverter so that WPD gang don't blow it up when they plug in a generator at 7am (or thereabouts). :mad:

    Tomorrow's forecast is of course pretty good : cloudy with sunny intervals am; rather brighter pm. Hopefully we'll be back on line around 4pm so I may not have to report zero generation for day.
