September was dull.
It felt very grey from the start of the month and so it continued. I had to scrape back every last kWh to hit the target this month (this meant checking the generation meter under the stairs and finding my Owl estimates were a couple of units light).
101% of target achieved which was not bad given the we only had 81% of the average hours of sun during the month. September 2013 was the 47th sunniest in the last 57 years - you get the idea, it felt like Autumn all the way through and the PV system reflects this. Still, to continue generating under such conditions shouldn't be underestimated.
Unlike September 2012, I did not complete the year's generation target in September, falling about 20 kWh short by the end of the month. This will easily go during October, but the stats don't lie - I'm down on the previous year and the weather feels like that too. Maybe 2014 will give us a treat instead.
