    Well I seem to have done pretty well for a change with 3.8 Os today. I suppose I'd better check the updated PVGIS at the end of the month - I'm going to beat the existing SAF PVGIS, but not if it's gone up by 5%.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    I was sitting at 91% PVGIS for the month this morning. Today seems reasonable though so hopefully I will push that up to 95%.

    Bad month for me!

    As the sun came out i'll give a combined figure of 2.8 O's smiley-happy019.gif

    As for month end, well lets just say i didn't even get close to PVGIS estimates, my SSW fell short by 12kWh smiley-sad006.gif, after checking that out i couldn't be bothered to check the rest.
    On a lighter note my FiT readings are due and i made roughly the same as april to june(just over £737)

    Import was 231kWh for this month with 4 units of gas smiley-sad027.gif
    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)

    A better day producing 2.6 O's

    I'm going to submit my first generation meter reading for FIT payment to OVO Energy in a mo'.

    1090Kwh generated this quarter. (Commencing 10th July)

    Import for the month was 125 day Kwh and 48 night Kwh (E7)

    Gas consumption for the month 2.7 units (whatever that equates to in Kwh, I really don't know).
