    I'm just shy of 1200kWh - I've known all along I'll be taking a hit of around 25-30% on a full 16 panel S-facing setup. Mine's going par for the course :D

    4.11 as a reading is mighty fine. I can't recall what max Iv'e seen on my GEO, but I know I've maxed my Inverter out a number of times (including today @ 3599kW)

    One more point - I saw my Geo Solo`s instantanious reading display 4.11 kW at one point yesterday! Never realised it would go as high. :beer:
    Don't get too excited, my 2.5 kWp system has maxed at 3.25 kWh....t1929.gif

    Happy summer solstice all!

    May your skies be blue
    and a cool breeze blow.
    Good luck maximising kWh usage,
    As you bag a Hawaii-five-O.

    Not a cloud in the sky in cider country so high hopes for our 16h38m of daylight. Could've done with a cleansing overnight shower though.

    5.1 O's yesterday, not quite as good as our recent best of 6.22 O's on Thursday.

    June generation to date is 345kWh against a target of 398kWh, so if things carry on like the month started we could beat PVGIS by 30%. That would equate to 518kWh which would be 2nd only to last July's 561kWh (albeit from a 31 day month).

    We need to maintain a reasonable standard in here - Is it a Hawaii or an Hawaii?

    Not necessarily so Eric!!


    According to PVGIS, then for my WNW its correct, but for my ESE & SSW then it gets better next month before then going downhill.


    better to be optimistic than pessimistic me thinks smiley-shocked003.gif
