    That's only a 6% spread across your 4 years, and a very solid 1,000 Os too.
    O for a thousand Os! (Cue hymn :))

    I was ecstatic with 824 Os. If I got a 1,000 I'd probably have to have a lie down in a dark room for a month and a half!

    Poor start to January, no good weather yet. As the saying goes in coastal Cardiff - 'Red sky at night, shepherds delight. Red sky in morning, WSM pier's on fire.'

    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.

    Best thing that happened here, was the fire & the rebuild. Put us right back on the map :rotfl:

    First time posting in the new year, so I thought I'd post last years generation.

    Installation was on the 2nd of September so no surprise that's lower than expected and it looked like I wasn't going to make the PVGIS estimate for the year after a terrible November. Thankfully we had an absolute spectacular December, far exceeding PVGIS expectations and more than November which more than made up for it....

    Long may it exceed expectations in the future....

    Actually, I'm in counter-phase to some other posters. Yesterday was dreadful with the Centre of England of fog, but today I reached 1.15 Os.
