Another good day at the office so to speak!

3rd best day of the year above 10 Kwh, just!!!!!!10.06 Kwh

2.53 O's for the day.

Some impressive numbers Merlin.:T

Would it be rude to ask how many kW your array managed in one of the summer months (for comparison)?

Figures thus far May was only for 10 days but it took near a week to get registered so not counting that now. Best day was June 06 with 29.3 Kwh giving 7.37 O's

June 478 PVGIS Est 452
July 566 PVGIS Est 464
Aug 467 PVGIS Est 409
Sep 273 PVGIS Est 355
Oct 264 PVGIS Est 261
Nov 121 PVGIS Est 164
Dec 157 PVGIS Est 125
Jan ??? PVGIS Est 133
Feb ??? PVGIS Est 197
Mar ??? PVGIS Est 373
Apr ??? PVGIS Est 426
May ??? PVGIS Est 490

PVGIS Est is 3850 for the year.
Obviously its only the first year but I was quoted 3640 by installers. Would love to have every month like July

Jun - Sept I managed between 94% of your generation. Oct - Dec that dropped to 60%.

I guess the trees & the low sun are having more of an impact than I imagined.

(My PVGIS is 12% lower than yours)

Looks like you win the Lincolnshire competition today.....even if it is only by 0.01 O's.:T

I have to admit I hadn't spotted that Nick :beer: but I'm happy to hold the trophy for a few more hours

Out of interest,to what orientation are your panels facing and any idea of roof pitch?

Its interesting to note the variations in outputs between the three Linc's PV'ers on here (and everyone else nationally of course) although we seem to all be obtaining figures more or less in the region of each other but of course weather can vary quite significantly across a county day to day.

For those with energyhive / Wattsonanywhere:

I raised a support ticket yesterday asking about the "How do you compare" figures as they are so ridiculously broken it's a waste of screen space.

My "average import" is higher than even my highest import day this month, so it can't be an average and the "average similar household" figure hasn't changed in days.

I've also asked them to clarify the figures are actually based on import, not consumption otherwise for anyone with any sort of diverter it won't reflect correctly anyway.

I know it's petty, but if it's on the dashboard it should at least work correctly.

A win's a win even if it's by 0.01.:)

The orientation of my panels is SSE (140 degrees). I need to go in the loft to measure the roof pitch but using the brick counting method, it's 35 degrees.

Yesterday with a clear sunny morning, it was obvious that the 2 large trees I have in my garden are compromising the generation by at least 30% (I made an effort to observe the output as the sun crossed the gap between them).
