Well, I didn't quite make an "O" today with 0.84 of an O (3.357 Kwh) and only 0.98Kwh of that to hot water via Iboost.... Gas boiler on in the morning for shower time then :mad:

We put our gas hot water on in the evening. Its still hot in the morning for showers and it means if there is some sun, the iboost has something to do as the tank isnt already hot.

Hi
I have a split system of 1.5kw PV(6 panels) ESE and then 2.5kwPV(10 panels) on opposite side of the pitched roof so prob WNW.
My totals have been May 400kwh produced
Jun 420
Jul 520
Aug 370
sept 220kwh produced
4kwh pv installed March this year with SMA 400TL Inverter
My Aug and Sept figures have fallen through the roof and during Aug and Sept

I rarely saw the meter pass the 4 O mark for daily produced figures and the highest reading since the 5th Oct has been 6 O produced on just 2 occasions with lots of days with 3 O and 4 Os inbetween

Right now it is bight sunshine but my sunny beam meter is showing 0.788

Any thoughts appreciated

Hiya Yoshii (sorry, me again) but I suspect you mean kWh's not O's.

O's on here are just a slang name for kWh/kWp, so for a 4kWp system like yours an O is 4kWh, 2Os is 8kWh and so on. We even have silly abbreviations like an Hawaii for 5O's. yep it's daft, but keeps us entertained.

@all, Yoshii's gen seems to have dropped sharply, possibly a combination of orientations and shading. Background to this can be found on this thread:

Why do I watch the Weather forcast?.....:mad: Based on that I went to work by car and not by my motorbike, and look at it lovely sun!!!!

3.78 O's for me today = 15.03 Kwh's :T

After a bad start this morning, manages 2.37 O's by sun down.

A day of 2 halves, great up to 12.00 and then downhill very fast.

2.36 O's for me in the end.

200 Kwh's passed for the month around midday. Still above my PVGIS estimate for the month.
