    Week 4 has not been too good so far, but yesterday, somehow, ended up just 0.1kWh short of a H5O ..... no idea how that happened.

    Still clinging on to a possible 110% for May, but the weatherman's computer says "No". :(

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    Dreadful here but because of the long hours of sunlight still managing 2-3 O's. Did hit the 1Mw/h for total generation yesterday though which ain't bad considering the panels have only been up 59 days.

    Weather forecast doesn't look great for next week but fingers crossed June sees better.

    From 20th March to 25th May... I generated just over a 1 megawatt hour! That's 67 days to my first megawatt.

    That is impressive!

    I've a similar set up but 100 miles plus north of you in obviously not so sunny Northants - and I've still not got my SolarEdge installed yet!

    I'm on 850kWh, from 21/3 to 25/5.
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.
