Hi Jimmy, I assume you've knocked together some daily estimates then.
Still ticking along nicely here, predicting 111% (if rest of month average), so a surprising Sept, following a confusing August (108%). But no complaints, no sir, none at all.
Also the long term forecast looks great (well, 8 out of 9 days). :cool:
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.

Mart.
This is based on PVOutput figures, which just divides the output for the month by the number of days, so assumer flat during the month.
I still haven't come up with a satisfactory daily figures.:)3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.

I explained how you might produce some individual daily figures in this posting :-

:-D
I'm a maths geek and happy to spend a lot of time doing this, but I can't figure out a satisfactory method that produces a smooth generation curve across the whole year, which also has monthly generation in line with PVGIS3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.
