    (1.6/4 =) 0.4 O's today:mad:

    Does anyone think my system could be faulty? Though most of the day the panels were covered by a layer of snow!

    (or maybe its my maths!!)

    If the reading was from your Geo meter it may have been underestimated; the accurate one is from your Generation Meter; snow does not help......:rotfl::rotfl::D

    The Geo range of monitors count pulses & so should be very accurate.

    No records bening broken here, although it was a great bright start.
    On the drive to Kibworth at 7.20 this morning, radio 2 weather saying that whole country was going to be cloudy with best sun in North west Scotland!

    Driving through Dingley I thought can't believe what I'd just heard!

    Then before I'd even left KIbworth at 8.10, it had clouded over.

    2.8kWh, and can't see much more coming :(
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    Meter v. Monitor (18 months)

    471 473
    511 494
    1242 1225
    1339 1313
    405 415
    413 414

    Totals: Meter 4381, Monitor 4334. (99% accurate)

    Some of the quarterly discrepancies are down to me reading the meter part way through the day.
