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........

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.3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0
