    3.84 O's today...thought I was going to miss out again today, as generation had stopped at 10:15. Raced back home in case RCD had tripped out again; only to find that gateway had failed to transmit as internet access had failed on router....t1940.gif...........coffee.gif

    Forgot to post yesterday that we'd reached the annual total for the year. If generation is average for rest of year, we could be on for 109%, nice, very nice.

    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.

    Looking at your figures Mart, I checked my retro fitted SSW system(via solaredge monitoring) and from Nov last year to now I've hit 1.72MWh, PVGIS is 1.81MWh but I'm missing most of December 13 and Jan 14 on the monitoring, so theoretically I'm also 100%+(I hope) as I type.....and SSE have paid me for last 1/4smiley-shocked003.gif)
