    More like finger error on my tablet, but well done..

    At least I don't have to try and compensate for having a little one and failure to grasp simple maths with dull wit ;)

    4 kW

    I have a steepish roof so it performs very well in winter, which is perfect for me.

    3.6kWh(0.55 big ones) today for moi today,

    Been having a dig at my numbers so far this month:-

    WNW(rubbish at this time of year)15kWh-need another (1.4) 0.3 for month
    SSW 49.6kWh-need another (1.3) +8.9
    ESE 35.2 and need another (6) 0.8

    Got 2 good days forecast so very hopefull of exceeding PVGIS estimates(at least on 2 systems anyway):D

    And with the 2 good days am also hopefull the wife is gonna cane it and use up all the generation:T

    1.18 O's today, again helped on by 4.6kWh from my SSW

    Strangely, my WNW does better in light cloud than in full sunshine, managing just under half a kWh today yet 2 days ago did 0.85kWh in cloudier conditions:huh:

    Ah well, I'm a lot more confident with 2 days to go of passing my PVGIS estimates for December for all my 3 systems:D
    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)

    Well mine continues to well underperform. Under 2kw today for nearly 5 hours of good sunshine. Not happy. PVGIS projections suggested 68Kw for the month...I have only done 27.9 KW since commissioning on 27/11. This isn't right and I don't care what the Owner says..I want big changes and have spoken with REAL/MCS..the more I read the more I realise the RECC code has not been followed...no mandated shade assessment, triple roof install with 6 of 14 panels on NNW roof and 1 x dual MPPT inverter, no consultation, no paperwork, have email copy of MCS cert and EPC now but nothing else. Wires in the roof/loft space trailing over insulation in the loft space...I'm told this should be secured or in conduit for safety reasons...Unhappy PVer who still wants this to work...sent recorded delivery letter to MD, despite his offer of Micros in the new year as the independent says I need to know what he will fit and take advice on it first, after getting a list of problems identified by the independent who says legal instruction would be needed for further in depth assessment...fair enough.


    Livid and anxious
