A few good days

A few good days of weather and we're back on track. In fact the last two days have been about as good as it gets with 20kWh a day flowing from the panels under clear blue skies. This has improved the generation stats and closed the deficit against the predicted generation levels - hurray. 

Although the weather has been near-perfect, the peak output is not as good as I'd hoped - more in the upper 2 kWhs rather than in the lower 3's. I suspect this might be the slightly hazy nature of the sun, but I cant really complain after all this rain we've had. It's great to see some output.

Overall, the meter under the stairs says 2237kWh to date, which means I've passed the £1000 point since the system was first commissioned. It's taken a little time, but I'm still ahead and it's nice to see the investment starting to pay back. I look forward to submitting my next meter reading in mid-August.
