It's been a while, just been looking at a business so head and time has been elsewhere! It's a no go due to minor obstacle; so back to the day job!

So, for those who like this stuff, here's where we are at:



So, over halfway through the month and below 50%.
Any thoughts on my PVGIS targets, are they a bit high or am I expecting too much?

Oh, today we hit the giddy heights of 0.79 ho's, with the best this month on the 1/11 when we got 2.07 ho's!

Cheers all,

Bit of a no show as far as Os go today.

Only exceeded 5.58kWh on 7 occasions this month, and never by much.

But I'm still smiling, thanks to me mates Bud, Carl and Stella.

Mart. :beer:

I have not posted in a long time, but yours caught my eye as I've just worked out my monthly totals as well. Also, my panels were installed in March, but I've not included March in my figures below (no image posted as I'm not yet allowed!) -

Month Target Generation Percent
Apr 396 324.5 82%
May 435 437.1 100%
Jun 414 515.2 124%
Jul 443 515.8 116%
Aug 414 413.6 100%
Sep 345 329.6 96%
Oct 277 197.3 71%

I'm in sometimes sunny Cheltenham and have 20 x 195w panels, with 14 facing SSE and 6 facing WWS, totalling 3.9 Kwp. The west panels seem to capture extra in the summer into the evening, but in these short days do not generate much.

Very poor recently, like everyone else, with 1.64 Os today, yesterday was my worst day ever (so far) with 0.10 Just about reached 50% of estimate for November so it's looking like it will come in under target as well.

I must go out and check but think I may be getting some shade from a very tall pear tree next door when the sun is low late in the day. Maybe my neighbour will follow through with her idea of having it pruned next year!
