Well what a cracking couple of weeks. With one day to go until my system's first anniversary, I'm at 2450kWh total generation, so will end just a whisker short of 1000kWh/kWp. My Wattson told me I was covering my base load by 7:09 this morning - not bad!
Will do a little retrospective in a new thread on its birthday tomorrow.My PV system: South West England, 10x 250Wp Trina Solar panels, Fronius Inverter, South facing roof, 35° pitch with no shading.0 -

Thanks Oscar. Love the piccie of Stewie, I'm a big FG fan. We recently, and briefly had a cat called Stewie (friends asked us to take on a young rescue). I say briefly, because we popped to the vets, and came home with a cat called Susie! Still, completed the set with Calvin & Hobbes & Moe.
Currently have a recuperating semi-feral Tom called Flash living in our spare bedroom. My wounds are mostly healed, the catbox is now held together with rope, and I've installed a new catflap to replace the 'locked' one he ran clean through. Well ..... it's good to have a hobby.

Doh! Didn't think about that, missed it completely, our WNW hit 10kWh on the 12th (but the ESE fell short letting us down). Actually, the WNW has been very consistent the last 5 days with 9.4, 10, 9.5, 9.6 & 9.8. That'll do pig, that'll do.

Maybe I'll get home from work today and find I'll be speaking to Danno about Hawaii?! Anticipation is killing me

7 of the last 8 days have been considered sunny by PVOutput (90% or greater of daily generation target). 4 of the last 5 have been Hawaiis, including the last three straight (Wed - Fri), I'm finally in line with PVGIS for the month, and only 9kWh down on PVGIS since installation...
Which is good, with some nice weather coming over the weekend. 3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.

Mart. My turn soon, I can feel it in my bones.
On the plus side, 17.63kWh / 4.4 O's - so can't complain really, and only imported 1 unit... sadly, probably "exported" about 15!!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 -
