    Quick rise up to 2 Kwh and then down like a stone and the rest of the day milling around 0.2 Kwh producing 1.13 O's

    Lets see what the next few days brings.

    I'm stuck at 0.4 Os. Not a good start to my new system.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    As his profile says he's a Southerner living up North then I'd have to guess he took the Sun with him ;) :cool:

    The BBC breakfast animation forecasts - local and national - between 06:00 & 06:30 showing overnight rain clearing by 08:00 followed by sunshine, but for a rogue squall working through London and the Estuary at lunch time was spot on.

    I set out at 07:45 thinking the rain was over and very nearly got drowned on a period of 10 minutes when I got to the end of the road. Then at lunch time the heavens opened again, almost overpowering my gutters.

    Result 1.6 O's

    How did you and the rest do that? 0.6 O's here.....smiley-confused013.gif...coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    Bar about 1 degree the back of the house faces due south. As yet just a farmers field behind the house. Maybe houses in another 5 to 10 years, but they be saying that for the last 10 years. Do have a row of small trees behind the garden but only up to about 15 feet at the moment. Have shading issues in late afternoon as angle of house is about 30 degrees off straight from next door to the west. No real problem in the winter. Each panel has its own optimizer to reduce effect of shading. I may be doing well now but Sept 14 only produced 76.6 % of PVGIS.
