    Story of 2 halves for me, my ESE has done 277kWhs for July which is 27% above estimate, yet my SSW has "only" managed 255kWhs, just 15% above estimate.

    Luckily, my FITs provider made a complete c*ck up of my SSW contract and i'm getting paid the same rate as my ESE system which was installed in 2011. Guess that helps with the shortfall on generation. Just over £250 for this month alone in total for both.

    Finished July with a total of 335kWh generated :j, 134% of Classic and 127% of Climate predictions :T
    July 2013 exceeded July 2012 generation by 22% and July 2011 by 25% :)
    But May 2011 still remains unbeaten in terms of kWh generated :D

    571KW from a 3.92kw system.

    Was hoping to go over 600kw but the last 10 days of the month were poor.

    Best month ever....year to date (since install date 08/02) is 2393kw.....and there's 6 months left.....hopefully Aug-Oct can be something close to 1000kw and then there won't be much after that.
