Must not have been covered much then welshman. Mine had a layer like loft insulation over the whole roof. Cleared my west panels now though, welcoming these clear blue skies!

Already generated more than the whole of yesterday!
Yup nearly done 4x the amount but i generated basically nothing yesterday for 4 time snothing is still not much, its still pretty horrible here, only doing about 500w but at least its covering base load and my work laptop and screens. Smart meter is reading 0w anyway, unless I put the kettle or or something.

Just surpassed 8kwh, if the snow didn't need moving I reckon it would be well into the double digits by now.

Well while you're all talking about my modest chest freezers, I'm pulling 35kwh today and still going strong - unlike guys it's not all about size, but performance ...
You appear to have taken too much sun tax lately, how will my family afford to eat?
5.4kWh today.

Well I'd say I might have something in my freezer for you, but given the recent posts, this could be misconstrued..... !You appear to have taken too much sun tax lately, how will my family afford to eat?

Have to say that's pretty awesome.
With my system being nearly 1kW less than yours I wonder what I'll be able to achieve once we're over this bout of crap weather.

I know! It wasn't obviously perfect today, so I'm wondering what my max might be mid-summer, sunny day - 40kwh seems quite reasonable, at a push 50kwh on a totally perfect day.Have to say that's pretty awesome.

I was around 4kw for most of today - have seen it hit 7.1kw over last few days, so in a perfect day it could be really good
