29th April was 21.2kWh peaking at 2906 watts generated which isn't bad for a 10yr old set of panels.

Yesterday 7th May didn't quite beat that with 20.79kWh, but still better than a wet & cloudy Welsh day.
Cant pick on individual countries anymore, people get upset lol……..french, welsh, irish, scottish wet and cloudy day

What's the story with the gaff anyway? Is it including battery discharge or something? Often they are "generating" until 11 at night!

PS just passed 10kWh so far today.

Kent, much sunnier than Scotland

It's a SolarEdge system with battery, and it reports battery discharge as generation, which means when the battery is charged from the grid it gives very misleading values, even if its not charging from the grid then it's still showing incorrect solar yeild data.

The Fox inverters used to do the same in the original app. If i charged the battery at 2am it counted discharge during the day as "yield" so the number was meaningless. It was a pain as you had to go to the inverter front panel to get the daily PV generation. Fortunately the new v2 app shows the actual figure now. Unfortunately Fox inverters still aren't supported in PVoutput though, so I'm stuck uploading manually at the end of the day.
