    Well, with 10% shading and a dodgy start to the day I reckon you've done really well. It's been pretty sunny all day here and just managed 3.5! Jolly good for October all the same. :)

    Another day of bright sunshine and another 3.5 O's, so wonderfully consistent! October looks to be following the monthly trend this year by topping pvgis yet again. :)

    Yep, weather forecast is suggesting sunny weather right to the end of October now.

    Just crept past the 100% prediction, with a nice 2.3 Os, so looking good if the rest of the month is average or better.

    Year end prediction currently 50kWh's short of best ever, so an above average end to October could close that gap (ish).
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW)

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
