    Had another few days away so haven't been bothering with individual daily readings lately.

    For month of August we generated 435kWh - 14% over pvgis and of course that would have been even better apart from the overhead line maintenance on 1st August

    We managed 10.88kWh yesterday but I've no real idea what weather was like for most of day. It seemed pretty dull around 5pm when we got home to see output of 750W but even peak had only been around 2kW whereas weather had seemed a lot brighter than that on trip home from Gloucs.

    But even 10 kWh is something like 40 times as much as we managed on first day of last month - if that trend continues perhaps we'll generate 4MWh on first of October (or maybe not :D )

    Aug 2012 was also above pvgis - but 'only' 7% above (and that was a full month).

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

    Thought I might get an Hawaii today, alas it wasn't to be, just 4.5 O's for me. Made it worse as the wife has been out all day so nearly all of it was exported:( On the upside, there was still enough being generated when she got in to cut the grass...one less thing for me to do:D
