    £10.23 today (21.1 kWh) :dance:

    £714.69 for the quarter :dance:

    since I started my spread-sheet at installation it has consistently forecast a ROI of approx. 5 & a half years.

    over 31% ROI so far with another 3 months to go to my second anniversary :dance:

    what happened to the idiots saying it wasn't a good investment 2 years ago? :D

    3.66 O's yesterday.

    Just passed 3MWh this year. Need just over 500 kWh or 125 O's to beat last years total:D

    No sun here today...we're missing most of the heavy rain though;)

    3.96 kWh [1.1 "0s"] in S.Essex.
    Worst day since 4th April. (probably) though this time Essex got much less rain than the other side of London.

    Interesting to here of the rain. Forecast for Friday (on Thurs evening) was terrible, but 'forecast' on Friday morning was for a lovely day, and that's what we got.

    Been much more boring here on the Celtic side of the Severn bridges the last month or so, with good results, rather than highs and lows. Last 6 days (rounded kWhs) were 20, 17, 21, 19, 19, 14. Though I suspect the E/W installs help to 'normalise' the results.

    Also started to see some pure blue skies this week. Don't get them very often, there's normally a tiny hint of white in there. Plays havoc with the system not in the sun. Been seeing 60 to 80W on the WNW at 10am, rather than about 300W.

    Projecting about +5% for September already (if rest is average) and that would mean the WNW hitting annual target by end of September ...... but admittedly, Oct to Dec gen targets are extremely low. :o

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    £2.81 yesterday (5.8 kWh) :o

    Still, now nearly 100 kWh over annual estimate with 3 months to go. What a difference the last 2 or so months have made for me.

    Hmm, where should I re-invest my soon to arrive £715 .... :dance:

    Only 4.4 kWh yesterday. Worst day for ages.

    Actually 1.1 O's, but 4.4 kWh sounds more.

    Missed most of the rain.....and sun:D
