Nothing like a smart *rse I know, my mean average for June at 19:56 on this day is 9.12:T Just trying to squeeze the last kWh out of it, post later. :rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Hi
today for me is 9.42kw. I had the system for 24 days and it generated 200kw.

Amazingly, I only need just under 13kWh today to hit PVGIS for June, which I'm not going to make as it would match my all-time record, but I'll probably make around 6, so not too far short.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0

Your system can't be too far out then; you averaged 8.3 my average for the month is 9.1 taking into account weather variation. Do you use your Gen meter or the Inverter for your readings?
Ok, for the number crunchers, like me; My reading today was 15.4kWh:j The PVGIS from insallation supplier was forecast as being 2046kWh per annum; currently I have done 68.9% of that since Nov 23rd. 2011. My average for June was 9.15kWh per day. Today has been the best day of June. Currently, my best was May 25th which was 18.2kWh. I had seven days in June over 10.9kWh. But I had more days in March over 10.9kWh per day. Where in Hell can I get a new Anorak from?:D Thank goodness it is the month end...what will July bring?:rotfl:

Sunnier than expected today so got 8.39kWh, taking me to an unexpected 97.7% of PVGIS for June. Think what a "flaming June" could have achieved! Will be phoning in the reading on Monday, as I'm with Scottish Power I should have the money by the end of the following week

15.46 kWh yesterday making 371 kWh for month.
Just needto generate 61 kWh today to equal pvgis. Beginning to suspect I may not quite get there :sad:
You won't be too surprised to learn that I didn't quite make the 61kWh today !:D
Actually 20.9 kWh giving 392.7 kWh for month which is approx 9% below the pvgis forecast. However on the ten full months that I've been measuring I'm 14% above the pvgis forecasts so not completely heartboken at one poor month (if a month when one earns £184 can really be called "poor" !).
In ten and a half months, I've already earned 11% of capital investment and hopeful of earning some more in the next six weeks. Another one and a half times the May earnings would take that to 14%NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
Hi Oscargrouch

July: First week forecast 'better get my insurance details ready, here we go again!'
The only good news is that despite a truly awful month, generation still came out at about 85%.
Month end results:
System: 3.58kWp
Orientation 110° (azimuth -70°), Lat: 50.5
Pitch 27°
Total generation: 343kWh
Daily average: 11.43kWh
Generation per kWp: 95.81kWh
Daily average per kWp: 3.19kWh
Mart.
PS currently generating 2.1kW, but black clouds are circling.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.

7% short of PVGIS target
I suppose not to bad considering it has rained almost every day.
Now if it had been a sunny June, think what FIT could have been...
We always used to have friends and family for BBQs in June, these days seem so far away now... :mad:
