    I hope the forecast for the next few days is as pessimistic as today's was - a most unexpected 5.74 Os today. Whatever happens this will be my best April ever (sadly I just missed the sensational April 2011). 11 Hawaiis (or more) so far. :)

    6.07 Os today. Thats 10 Hawaiis in total this month. 4Kw over prediction so far this.



    There was a 5.8 here today, with 6.5 on tuesday and the same again yesterday. That's 11 Hawaiis so far this month in Sunny Sussex, but (in contrast to Rosyth) that's only 93% of my PVCIS for April. So what's happening? Should I move my panels nearer the Arctic Circle?

    Considering I'm south east facing, caught some rays yesterday finishing with 15.31 kWh or not enough for a nap!

    This morning is lovely and bright, although clouds to the south so not sure what the day is going to bring!

    The mist must have cleared quicker where you are.

    Anyway, I'm now 4kWh over the April PVGIS estimate so happy days!:cool:

    Im going to call today early. Very misty start so 3.7 Os today.
    !So what's happening? Should I move my panels nearer the Arctic Circle?

    We have probably been lucky with some good days giving higher figures. I have noticed I had some better days while those to the south had variable conditions. Plus the east coast is usually pretty good for sun. I lost count how often I would leave the east in glorious sun to hit dull and rain in the central/west region when I used to commute across country.
    2.43 from 9 x 270 Trina panels. Samil solar river 2600 inverter. Due South. 30 pitch. East coast of Scotland just North of Forth bridge.

    Still kicking out 220w, but my gen meter tells me we have 20.66 kWh, or a 5 o plus change in the bag!

    Weather over the next few days doesn't look promising though, so I'm just going to drink myself sunny!
