    So that was April, and not as good as I had hoped earlier in the month. At least I finished with a good day.

    Total: 206.00 kWh, 5.5% below SAF PVGIS.
    2013: 206.86 kWh
    2012: 193.46 kWh
    2011: Oh, how I wish I'd had panels during that spectacular month!

    Best day: 6th, 12.49 kWh
    Worst day: 25th, 0.80 kWh

    (Divide everything by 2 for Os)
    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.

    Couldn't muster the enthusiasm to post yesterday's miserable effort of 5.9kwh.

    Today was an improvement at 12 kWh.

    Tomorrow's forecast looks very promising with wall to wall sunshine all day....let's see if they get it right;)
    4kw (16X250w Sharp). Samil Solar River 3680 TL inverter.
    E.mids/SSE. 35 degree roof pitch, no shading.
