    1.76 O's today: That's what I like about this time of year; it should only get better....smiley-laughing021.gif

    My target for Jan is (I think) less ambitiouse: 23.72 O's which equates to 0.764 O's per day.. coffee.gif Same as last year so no disappointments....:rotfl:

    Is that a target you've set for yourself or PVGIS prediction?

    Think you have a good reason to complain - my system 119.7 kWh for that same period. Yours in O's (kWh/kWp = 11 O's compared to 47.88 O's; clearly not right.....(assuming you have a 4 kWp system).... :(
    Is that a target you've set for yourself or PVGIS prediction?

    Guess it is; last Jan '13 I only managed 83.4% PVGIS.
    Currently I am on 53% of PVGIS incl. of todays massive input..smiley-laughing021.gif 0.40 O's Today folks....coffee.gif

    Oscar...its over 4kw...underreported on mcs and im refusing to sign EDF fit paperwork as its fraud if I do. Installer suppsed to be fitting optimisers but I dont believe that will do much to improve things. Keep putting in then withdrawing complaint as he promises things...but this is useless, I feel useless!. I have found chaps locally getting plenty of generation...way above mine, beteeen 80 to ovrr 100 kw per month. Let NICEIC look at it and then RECC...but dont have much faith in them...seem to be toothless tigers. Installer keeps saying he stands by his figures but wont committ to paper...only verbal.
