5.8kWh / 1.45 O's here today. Better than expected to be honest, though it's pretty much been cloudy with some hazy sunny spells.
I think I need at least 7 or 8 kWh per day to hit monthly PVGIS target
4kWp system (Feb 2014) : 1.5 SW, 2.5 NE (16x Bisol BMO/250, Aurora Power-One UNO PVI-3.6 Inverter : pvoutput.org/list.jsp?id=299350 -
Interesting day today, got 2.46 Os so beat Merlin .... somehow?:huh:
But the really weird thing is that the WNW exploded into action with 6.6kWh or 3.3 Os (previous best this year was 4.6kWh). Almost a perfect day for it, with a white/grey start (maximising reflection in the morning) then a sunny afternoon.
But overall, gen has slipped, and now predicting 97% of target, but forecast for the next week is good, so ....

I have been away from the Midlands for a couple of days in Crawley and then Greenford. All seemed dull in the South East. But things were slightly better back at home at 2.33 Os today.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0

Naff weather here again today. 6.4kWh = 1.6 O's.
