When the numbers are duplicated, I was away from home and so not able to read the generation meter; so averaged the result over the missing readings.

24kWh yesterday. Bit cloudy this morning which will hopefully blow away

4.6 O''s yesterday.......Forgot to mention my gas usage for July was zero:rotfl:

Could August be as good as July? Well 20kWh today says so (only another 28 days of the same required).
What was very interesting this evening was seeing my ESE go to shade and the heavens opened but was still sunny, my generation jumped from 86Wh to 258Wh for a good 5 mins before settling back again.

Got to love the rain sometimes:rotfl:

Been an interesting start to August, forecast mixed weather, and that's what we got, but more sun than rain. 3 days over target 25.6 (4.59 Os), 20.8 (3.73 Os) & 25.3 (4.53 Os).

Mart.

Averaged 19.5 kWh for the first 3 days of August.

Looks like a cracking pay-out next month. :beer:

The annual generation is important so to to bring myself back to earth I looked back and my last 10 months pattern has been 6 consecutive months below PVIS (Oct 2012- March 2013) then 4 months above........ I suspect at the end of the year I will be very close to the estimate. Last year I was within 1% of expected generation.

ps the reason I only looked at 10 months is that before that it was one month above 1 below etc

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what period of the year is best for PV solar generation and what % of the whole years generation that represents.

Thanks
