    Can I just get one....one good day...pleeeeaaasssseee, it's costing me a fortune with her indoors and the kids washing...smiley-angry039.gif


    Looking on my solaredge monitoring I've racked up 4 days this month where I've hit 3 O's, today is not one of them with 0.85 O's on my SSW(solaredge), 0.5 O's on the WNW and 1.05 O's on my ESE.


    Can probably count on one hand how many dawn till dusk sunny days I've had this year too...and yet I'm in front of PVGIS, go figure smiley-confused005.gif

    October is just, just hanging on to target for me (102%), though my daily target now (at the later end of Oct) is only 1O.

    Quite a remarkable year, if only they were all this good.

    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.

    Today has been poor. Only managed 1.82 O's

    My electric use has gone way up thanks to daughter smiley-chores031.gif andsmiley-chores003.gif why is it so hard to get them to do it when the Sun is out!!

    My daily Target for the rest of the month is 6.5 Kwh or 1.63 O's to make my target.:)

    Here's one for an October comparison .... the last 6 days combined just about equate to our record daily generation ....

    Could have done with a decent day today to raise the DHW temperature a little, but alas, the boiler is needed again (2nd time this month !)

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