    Added some stats for June, interesting to see how it builds up over the year.

    http://solar-panels-review.321web.co.uk/monthly-pv-solar-panel-generation.php

    I'm actually surprised how well the last 3 months have done despite the weather as we are still just beating the SAP targets. It makes me curious how good the month would be if we did actually have a very unusually sunny June if such a poor one can still give nearly 360kWh.

    Not a thrilling day - pretty gloomy all day but with a few brighter patches. Managed several peaks over 3kW but none lasting much more than the 5mins they needed to be registered.

    Total for day 13.61 kWh - surprisingly that's quite close to pvgis prediction for an average July day. But then every first week of July I can ever remember has been pretty indifferent : I blame the Wimblebore Rainmaking Ceremonies :D

    13kWh for me today :), best day of the month so far :D
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    At lunchtime I had intense feeling of deja vu ! Really gloomy with just the occasional hint of brightness. However, around (true) noon I had several instantaneous readings over 4kW (4,04, 4.06 - that sort of level) and recorded a few 15m readings around 3.5kW. Then day got brighter - but too late for really high generation. Managed a dishwasher run and pumped some rainwater. Daily total 16.32kWh

    'Weather clerk' obviously doing his best for me today with a torrential downpour around dusk - alas, tanks all so full that I wasn't collecting anything.

    Think you may need to charge those batteries on the torch:)
    8.8kWh yesterday - and an all time monthly record breaker today of.....12.6kWh :j To quote my post No. 571 on this thread: I hope I was correct; again, for all ! :rotfl::rotfl:

    I would, if my solar panel can generate enough power to charge them :).

    I think I will be lucky if it generates 1kw today, by loooking at the weather here in Sheffield :).

    Based on the forecast I saw earlier they'll certainly get a good wash today even if they don't generate anything!
