    7.1kWh today or 1.77 O's if you prefer.

    According to my monitor I peaked at 4kW a couple of times today. I must have blinked at the time, as I don't recall seeing any strong sunshine all day:p

    Now need to get at least 9.71kWh per day to reach my target by 10th March.

    This months PVGIS target already met this month (102% so far).
    4kw (16X250w Sharp). Samil Solar River 3680 TL inverter.
    E.mids/SSE. 35 degree roof pitch, no shading.

    That's a low target for a 4kWh system.


    Our system is 2.4kWh and our target is 96kWh. Totally different area to you though!!


    Or am I missing something???
