    Day yield : 223Wh
    Month to date : 223 Wh

    I think that's probably the worst day ever ! Of course power was off all day and that 223Wh has been generated since 7pm. And I did get unmetered electricity until then.

    Fairly confident tomorrow will be better :T

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Have you moved recently ?

    Whatever the forecasters have told you, there's absolutely no chance of anyone in the UK getting the same sort of weather for 30 consecutive days !

    Possibly parts of Arabian Peninsula or maybe even N Africa might offer that.

    July PVGIS-Classic: 417kWh
    July 2013: 561kWh (+35.5% vs PVGIS), new record month :beer:
    July 2012: 432kWh (+3.6% vs PVGIS), now 5th best month

    Only March 2012 beats July 2013 in comparison with PVGIS, which had a 42.6% out-performance.

    Steady 17kWh for the first day of the new month. Looks like you "lost" between 17-19kWh yesterday Eric. At least you can console yourself with the free leccy they gave you. Chance to use every appliance without the need to "check if your generating enough":rotfl:
