    Provisional July performance was 429.6kWh based on a 3pm reading yesterday. That's 116kWh/kWp.

    8.5% ahead of PVGIS despite an awful start to the month.

    Hi

    3.20kwh today.

    Shafeeq


    That looks very low compared to my 7.4 (less than half rather than expected three quarters) but I can explain it.

    I attended a funeral in Sheffield yesterday and weather was really dull whereas when I got back into Derbyshire there was quite a bit of sunshine.

    First day of August has been rather better than last of July (met office predicted it would be worse !).

    10.7 kWh today pvgis predicts an average August day would give 13kWh and as it happens my daily average for the last two weeks in August was 12.7
