    At 97% of target for month to date so far up until this morning.

    May not make 100% for the month this month... Hopefully some brighter days coming up :)

    97% and may not make it with 8 days to go.....you havin' a larf:D

    Does your month start on a different day to mine;)

    I'm on 70% of PVGIS inc today:eek:

    Possibly he means that he's produced 97% of the amount he expected to produce in the same period ?

    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. 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.

    That's 97% of *month to date*! So I'm a little behind where I should be at this point in the month.

    I'm currently at 73% of the overall month... So still a little behind managing 100% for the month.

    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.:)

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

    But note that I also expressed doubts on whether the result justified the effort :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 PVGIS
