    Only managed 17.4kWh yesterday, helped incredibly by a late surge of sun giving my WNW a 9kWh total, today looks promising as I'm kicking out over 1k now with clear blue skies....could I see my first 40+?
    Luckily her indoors is in all day to take advantage...of which I have no doubt she will try her hardest

    22.5 KWh yesterday, so over 5 O's for me! Today is looking to be another great day for generation as well!

    Todahy's the day I pass £200 generated since 20th March (about 1170 kWh). Keen to know how I compare to anyone with a similar installation date?

    Cheers,

    I'm not sure I'd want quite so much detail about my electricity generation and consumption published to the world!

    Oscar - you appear to have been generating very little at 12, whilst consuming very much. I've not really looked at a graph with consumption and export before, so this unfortunate issue made me laugh.

    I'm sure it must happen fairly frequently and is no big deal though - just ironic. :)
