@alphaomega16 do you have whole house backup?

Not really, mine is the same, it's called safety.
I actually paid a lot of money for two 100A switches (so I can bypass the inverter), because if my inverter is faulty/turned off the relay contacts open, and no power is passed through.
Ill try and get another pic once scaffolding gone, im surprised that companies drag their feet coming to take it down, you would think they would need it back
Have you ever seen a scaffolding yard, they have absolutely loads of the stuff, so they are never in a rush to take it down, as they'd rather be spending the day putting it up, which is what earns them money.
They wanted roof rails on mine, but then it was the edge of the roof, that being a terrace house probably doesn't require them, although there is a risk it's substantially smaller.I hope that scaffold was cheap, no access gate and no side rails to the roof apex... Nice panels though
Weirdly I think July is going to produce less than not only June but also May!
I did say May was usually the best month a while back.
Victron does, and you can even add an SD card to expand the storage, but then Victron is a whole more expensive.
PS Currently averaging 36.1 a day for the month, well down.

I am in Kent
Looks much the same going into August, even for Kent.
Not looking good for the next week here, 17.8kWh today, battery didn't even get to 100%, going to need to turn the charge rate up for the winter months to maximise peak export.
I generated 966 in April, and I'm currently on 957, so will beat Aprils figure's but not May or June's.
Not quite 6 months since the additional system was installed, that will be in late August.
But the last 6 months are 5.47 MWh generated, and almost pretty much 4 MWh exported, consumption stands at 3 MWh, oh and 2.38 MWh imported.
There is some errors in the above, as the system wasn't fully functional for a while, so all SolarEdge generation was assumed to have been consumed.

Today was the worse day of July, at just 15.22kWh, thats more like a very good December day.
Total for the month: 1069 kWh, or 34.48 kWh per day
Exported: 1012 kWh
May was 1325, and June 1306, so July was well down.

I heard they've found summer, and it's arriving next week.
I may have produced a lot, but that certainly doesn't mean its been good, here's a side by side comparison of last year on the SolarEdge system.
As can clearly be seen, the only month this year so far, which was better than last year is May, every other month has been worse, substantially in some cases.
In fact for the SolarEdge system this July is my worst on record.
PS. Just 32.8 kWh today.

Hallucinations?
40.6 kWh, sun is currently forecast for Wednesday onwards for four days, but that can change.
But it rained all week on and off when I went to Wales
Just looked at my figures for the day, only 9.642 exported, turns out the battery didn't really charge all day, it reached 82.7% at 5am, then dropped, but finally got back to 82% by 2pm, but that was its highest, as only 12.53 kWh for the day.
Last night I was tempted to turn the charging up more, but didn't, I'm already charging the batteries at 106 amps (that's around 7.2kW grid draw), can go to 140 but would rather check to see how hot things get first.
I suppose it gives me an idea of what winter will be like.

Certainly is, battery at 98% and 11 kWh generated already, with 43 forecasted.
The day so far is not as good as forecast, currently at 13.7 kWh.
@rangor gubbins no, mine is up to date.
Finally a good day again 49 kWh, the traditional Kent weather has returned and perfect solar graphs.
