A fairly respectable 9.12 kWh today. Mostly sunny apart from a short morning deluge.

Think your system must have warmed up:rotfl:

Only 10.1 kWh for me, but at least every day in August has beaten PVGIS which is 7.87kWh per day.:j So should not complain.:) But I will.:rotfl:

15.54 kWh today

Below pvgis for 1st Aug but above for all five days since.

Forecast for next couple of days seems better still - but expect they'll have got it wrong again.

My PVGIS average is 8.64 so been beating that everyday except the 1st day, but of course I still complain :j

Opppss wishful thinking, actually first 3 days were lesd then 7kwh

15.22kWh yesterday......or did I?
Compared generation meter reading 2595kWh
with my Sunny Beam reading 2620kWh = -25kWh difference.
Has anyone else had this?
Spoken to SMA and was told there can be a variance.
Using Sunny Explorer on my PC I have reset the inverter figures to match the generation meter.
I also asked if there was any way I could show total generation figures on my Sunny Beam after putting the new FIT rate in (47p)
The tech guy could not answer my question and is going to contact the next level up in Germany.
Will update later.

I get it all the time and I have an AURORA inverter; manufacturer reckons they can be 10% either way. That's probably why you have to have a Approved Gen meter fitted in your system. I always give gen meter readings on the thread, as these are spot on.

Likewise - don't use inverter readings, they are just a guide. My inverter under-reads by about 0.2%, pretty good compared to some but I would never use it to report an actual reading.
