    The day turned out quite well. smiley-gen125.gif

    Reached a better total than I had hoped yesterday but after seeing how it started I could have made another half an O or more.

    Still producing @ 0.137 Kwh but over bar the shouting.

    3.03 O's Best total of the year by 1.5 Kwh. smiley-gen013.gif

    Now at 101 % Of PVGIS Estimate with 7 days to go! smiley-gen163.gif

    Just logged in remotely to get my figures. I was told by PM that failure to update was not an option. Have to agree ;)

    Finished up with 2.22 O's (8.7kWh)

    Nha, Nhaa, not buying that; was that off your inverter as opposed to Wattson? Because your Wattson gives you less than 2 O's......:eek::eek:

    Yes, I always take readings off the inverter as Wattson is always out by about 10%.

    Yesterday finished with a reasonable 7.332 kWh / 1.833 ho's, pleased with that.

    Today, sun was up early and very bright (drove to Peterborough twice (for work!)) and witnessed 2 near crashes due to people not being able to see the road (A47). Driving into the sun and the suns' reflection from the damp road from overnight frost meant 2 suns, hard work!!

    Be careful out there...!!

    oh, today's numbers... 8.082 kWh / 2.02 ho's. Nice.
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.
