    OTOH, on the downhill side of the Summer Solstice every day is just a bit shorter than previous one so you need to be at more than 50% of PVGIS at middle of month if you want to be at 100% by end.

    Hiya T. Nothing spectacular here, but has been ticking along a bit above target all month. Now predicting 111% (if rest of month average*), so a very nice first half of September so far.

    *My spreadsheet has average guestimates for each day, which I overwrite with actuals. The guestimates take some account of in-month changes, for instance 1/9 estimates 15kWh and steadily slides down to 30/9 estimated at 10kWh.

    Mart.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Nice. I need to try and target my spreadsheet to do this, it's complicated though - you don't really know what you want at the beginning/end, unless you assume that June and December are flat, and then you can interpolate between them...
