    Hi all, my install was 26th of Feb, my TGM is reading over 700 kWh now, does this constitute a descent yield?
    Anyone else been running for a similar amount of time as me?

    cheers

    For comparison my 4Kw system was installed on 28th March and today's reading is 617 Kw/h.

    However, I'm based in SW and have very favourable orientation.

    I only look at my inverter display to get the peak generation figure for the day.

    Same here. Inverter can vary a few percent either way. My inverter is just over 1% lower than the generation meter.

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    14.24kWh for me today. Again, better than expected as I was sure rain had been forecast (only had a slight shower around 6.30pm), but saw more sun than I thought would be.

    I was hoping against hope that I would make 16kw today, but actual was 15.98 but what the hell? It looks like a few disappointing days ahead in Humberside unless Legoman knows something different? It's all a bit of fun, nonetheless.
