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

    My Solar Panels are getting washed just about every single day since I had them installed :)

    Not a great day anywhere I'm guessing !

    3.37 kWh here which isn't exactly exciting but still passes my 'better %return than ISA' test.

    3.72 kWh for me. I think one record was broken, though; my highest generation didn't arrive until after 7.30pm!

    only useful peak (2.4kW) was around 10am when I used the free electricity to pump rainwater from basement to attic tanks.

    What wattage is the pump and what's the internal diameter of the piping?

    It's a 'Mono' pump with approx 1100w motor. Pump connections in 22mm but reduced to 15mm for the (30') lift

    4.4kWh yesterday for me in Northants . :( Not looking too much better today; so far 3.0kWh. Currently 0.2kW - 1.5kW between clouds and showers. :mad:

    Yet another strange day !

    A 5m average of 3.888kW at 13:25 Down to 0.18kW at 14:05 Lots of similar (but not quite so extreme) peaks & troughs during the day.

    Still generating 85w so daily total not quite 'final' but doubt it will improve a lot from the 14.06kWh currently reported which is of course very close to my pvgis 'average July day' forecast
