    Well that's more like it, less sun but more Os thanks to the lower temperature. Got 6.19 Os today and some amazing (for me) peak generation figures - 1964W recorded on the monitor off the inverter output and 2000W on the inverter display, which is not bad for my 7-year-old panels that can't be running at much more than 95% output by now.

    20180509_130705.jpg20180509_130900.jpg

    They never get over 1600W when temperatures are up in the high 20s or above and, considering my old inverter was limited to an output of 1575W, these figures are great and give me hope that, given the right conditions, I can exceed 7 Os (highest I got on the old inverter was 6.6). Happy days! :j

    Goes to show how much better production can be when the temp is lower and you have some wind. Clouds have been coming and going all day and my chart is covered in peaks and troughs!

    Another Maiden + 0.11 O's and some still to come.

    Averaged 6.24 O's over the last 6 days!:D

    Another pretty good day with some nice peaks and 5.78 Os. That gives me a 7 day total of 42.54 Os (average 6.08), which I'm pretty sure is my best week ever.

    1st Maiden of the year, 6.04 O's today. :j
    The cloudy morning and cooler temperatures today certainly helped to boost generation.
