    Forecast was for a nice day, but got a super day. Also generation on the ESE sat at about 90% till the sun moved away (very rare during sustained sunshine), so there must have been a nice cold windy boost.

    At 5.75 O's, very near my best ever.

    Today is to be even sunnier, by 90% of Wp rating will take some beating.
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW)

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
  • 6.04 O's for me yesterday which is the 6th day so far that I've passed 6 O's this month. I've exceeded PVGIS every day so far this month and currently stand at 65% of PVGIS for the month, which is a real turn round on the year so far but still worse than last year.

    Great to see such good figures posted. We couldn't keep up with you high flyers yesterday managing just 3.3 O's here.

    Right, 8pm, generation shut down and I have smashed my all-time record set four years ago! :j:j:j 6.75 Os today, but still that elusive 7 evades me. Perhaps I could have got there today but for a few clouds in the early afternoon. Tomorrow's forecast looks good but probably too warm to break any records. But, the end of the week looks more hopeful, sunny and cooler.
