Its going to be interesting to see what our baseline is when our Victron system is up and running. I think its about 700w, but not sure.

1.73kWh, been an overcast day all day, if my garage panels perform similar in this sort of weather at least it will cover my background usage.
Hopefully we'll see @rodders on PV Output and join the team now he has SolarEdge, which is really simple to setup.
@SoliD Come next week I'll finally have three roof's of panels

They never rush to take scaffolding down, until they need it.
I never had the admin tab. But a quick email to my installer of six years ago and it was sorted, hopefully yours is as easy.
11.55kWh today, efficiency of 2.8875 
When comparing systems its all about the efficiency, just ask @Welshman, of course at the end of the day it is the total generation (8 days to go) that really matters - there I said it once, I won't say it again
I see that PET (iwrox) has an effcieincy of 4.298kWh/kW today on PV Output live charts.
Very nice result again.
Yeah I know, but even with 1000kwh Ron-ski would still say he prefers to track by efficiency, colour of panels or some other obscure metric....

You could be on to something there, its cold in Wales toAhem... guys with small systems always say that....
Next you'll be telling me that it's the cold weather that makes your panels look small....

For me the efficiency is the only metric to fairly compare how different systems, with different sizes are performing, oh and that it annoys the hell out of Katie
Now the mist has burned off its a bright sunny day down here as well.

Absolutely agree, ultimately at a household level it's all about savings, or being more environmentally friendly. The efficiency figure is purely for meaningful comparison.
I think he may just get 30, possibly, my 4kw system has never produced 30kWh in a day (28 being the max IIRC, 26 more often), but it's not all South facing, it's split across two roof's, 90 degrees to each other.
Started generating at 7:58, by 10am was generating 2kw and had generated 2.1kWh, going to be a good day if the sun stays out.

We're really low at work, was still foggy at 10, but the system at home was performing well, so it had cleared there. Still pumping out the kw's.
A perfect solar day 13.17kWh 3.2925 efficiency
I'm not sure who that is, but their generation for the day 19.1kWh looks rather high for a 4.235kw system, noticed that the other day as well, but its south facing at 35 degree pitch.

10.48kWh today, quite a cloudy afternoon, and weather getting worse as well.
2.97kWh here
I thought iwrox may have just entered the wrong array size, but it's not that if they are generating that early in the day.
Weather's not too bad here at the moment, generating 2.1kW

9.84kWh, much better than expected, ended up second place on the live leader board - @katie279 suddenly came out of nowhere with 24.500kWh / 3.320kWh/kW 
I think we'll just ignore Iwrox in the rankings, not sure that Katie generated whats reported today, there is a three day gap, so perhaps the system just reconnected and all data was lumped together.
Nice, glad it went well. My new system should be up and running midweek, but the forecast looks pretty poor the rest of the month after Tuesday.
Should smash katies efficiency numbers that Ron!
I'm not sure on that, east / west at 10 degrees is not ideal, but with 2.5kW more of panels down south hopefully I'll produce more energy, after all that's what matters

Just adding more panels, which means I'll be more competitive on the total generation statisticThat's the spirit! He's manning up!
If it's maxing out now, then that's going to be a lot of lost generation in the summer, request an upgrade to 5kw inverter, only reason you have a 3.6kw is because the paperwork is easier. They can apply for G99 and change the inverter if approved.
