Just kidding...welcome. In answer to your question are you talking about a winter day, a summers day, depends which way your panels are facing.
To give you an idea, my 3 combined systems managed just under 3kWh today(wet and windy) yet a couple of days ago managed around 15kWh
As for O's, take a read back through the thread and look at Oscargrouch's signature(explains it all)2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0 -

ROOVES!
I was taught 1 roof, 2 rooves.
It's more dumbing down of the English language for the hoardes of bloody immigrants that can't speak the language properly. Like what I do.
My 1925 edition of Chambers has 'roofs'. It also has 'hoard' (a stock) and 'horde' (an army) but not 'hoardes'.O G :cool: Somewhere on the South Downs

We have some very clear (well quite clear for English) rules on plural forms of words ending in 'f' ; there's no reason at all to relax them just to make life easier for common people.
No doubt the whole concept of our little spelling session is 'mischiefous' ?NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Dear groovyf. In acknowledgement of your steadfast support of all MSE PV'ers at regular risk of a good spooning, I felt it only fair, on this occasion to 'share the load'.
So, please be advised that the spoon is to be re-directed towards an exceptionally wet Cardiff where it will probably be used to stir some Ready Brek in the hope that the after glow will shine on the [STRIKE]roofs[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]rooves[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]roof 1,2 & 3[/STRIKE] .... PV and result in a better figure today than yesterdays 0.3 Os.
Yours sincerely,
Soggy Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
