I reckon Shavy's safe. If we lose Scotland our percentage of renewables will take a big hit as they are miles ahead of the rest of us. I think Wales is a little better than England, but nothing to shout about. Whilst Scotland is in another league.
I hope we don't lose Shavy and his mates, if only because of the increased fines we'll face from Europe! Is that selfish? Plus us Celts are already dangerously outnumbered.

My first 11 of the year - 11.13 kWh, 5.56 O's2kWp 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

22.84kWh for me... 5.82 Os3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.

Not sure if I posted last few days, so a few figures all at once
Fri = 18.9kWh
Sat = 8.0 kWh
And today was 21.9kWh.
Forecast for next week looks good, so hopefully more of the same to report over the next few days (fingers crossed).4kw (16X250w Sharp). Samil Solar River 3680 TL inverter.
E.mids/SSE. 35 degree roof pitch, no shading.0 -
About 37 degrees, not particularly.the Grouch Estate0

ESE 10.98kWh(5.6 O's)
SSW 11.96kWh(5.86 O's)

I'm very happy with my pitch - any steeper and I'd have problems standing up in the bedroom !
In spite of the shallow pitch, we managed 23.09 kWh today :TNE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
14kWh or so for me today, clear skies til lunchtime, the the clouds floated in. I've started adding live data to pvoutput, so I can tell when the clouds do get in the way with the troughs for the generation line.
One thing I noticed with it, is the peaks are lower than the actual peaks (for instance, on the graph it looks like it peaked around 2.2kW, but it actually hit 3.1kW. Not too fussed as I'm more interested in how the line fluctuates as to those live figures.4kWp system (Feb 2014) : 1.5 SW, 2.5 NE (16x Bisol BMO/250, Aurora Power-One UNO PVI-3.6 Inverter : pvoutput.org/list.jsp?id=299350 -
Record day for me. Just a smidgen under 27kwh or 6.7 O
Downside though was output peaked at 11:30 and 3.46kwh - presumably the panels were going over optimum temperature.
Still, it was warm today and we are only mid April.
30kwh should happen but not a lot more I'd have thought due to the heat.0 -
Really good day here too, got a cracking 26.4kWh or 4.73 Os.
Bit jealous of all the Hawaiis folks have been getting, so if I cheat a bit and split the systems, I get WNW 8.4kWh & 4.2 Os, but the ESE gets 18kWh and just squeezes a Hawaii with a 5.028 Os. :cool:
Hopefully a true Hawaii of 27.9kWh isn't too far away.
Next two days look fantastic, and the five day forecast isn't bad, but a pretty rough looking half week after that. Forecast for tomorrow is for 14 solid suns, one for each daylight hour, though I think the 8pm to 9pm is a little cheeky, given that sunset is at 8.05pm.
May the sun be with you.
