    3.67 O's (14.54 kWh)

    Rather a Naff day here too many clouds throw out the whole day.

    Now require 2.5 O's per day to make Estimate.

    And that would be exacterly the same as mine, considering my SSW did 3.1 O's today on a mostly cloudy day I'd like to believe it's doable(only 4 days this month been under 2.5 O's)
    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)

    3.12 Os here in Midlands

    Another poor day, raining all morning then just thick cloud until some lighter cloud this afternoon. Thankfully some late afternoon sun and let up.

    Generation was 12.67kWh. I managed to dump between 6 and 7 kW into the hot water tank. The iBoost even turned off as it reached its temp target of 65c.

    Took just 2 days to reach 65c after I fixed the immersin stat. Very pleased to see the iBoost working so well despite the poor generation these past 2 cloudy/rainy days. Boiler not needed atm. Result!
