  • 15th consecutive day above PVGIS today and yesterday was my best day ever returning my first ever 7.01 O's. What a strange year :rotfl:

    More sun + more heat = less kWh today, as expected. A "mere" 6.45 Os, which is still one of my best. Currently at 70% of PVGIS for May.

    A wonderful Maiden + half an O in the sunshine yesterday. :)

    Looking like my fellow Lincolnshire PV'ers had similar generation yesterday and it's looking good for today too :beer: :j

    Too true! Maiden + 0.65 O's here today:beer:
    Shame I was out most of the day and put 2/3 of it back in the grid:eek:

    A good day spoilt by 2 big blips in the morning and afternoon when the clouds rolled in. So was well impressed with the score on the meter!

    Not too bad a day, not as good as yesterday; only a/an Hawaii + 1.76 O's...:(...coffee.gif

    Another great day, 5.55 O's and month end prediction now 110% if generation is average.

    Today is grey and rain all day, but after that the forecast is a week of sunshine with light clouds.

    Looking good for May.

    Half way through the month and at just over 56% of PVGIS estimate for May.


    That's just over 65 O's so far.


    Predicted to be at least 105% of PVGIS by the end of the month.

    This month has certainly started better than March and April.

    I am at about 60% and, apart from today, the next 7 days are predicted to be reasonable.

    Who knows what the month will bring but hopefully it will help undo some of the "damage" from March and April where I am "missing" about 250kWh or 46 Os.

    Given the good February there is a remote chance that I could end May back on course for the year as a whole - we'll see. :beer:
