    Yesterday was my best day for a while at 12.45 kWh or 6.22 O's. It demonstrated that, even with a day of continuous sunshine, I cannot match the peaks I get in April/May, presumably due to the higher temperatures. Also, the limitations of my inverter output must come into play; I reckon that on a day like yesterday this probably cost me around 1.5kWh, whereas the cost would be less in the spring.
    2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.
