746 for May 2016
 714 for May 2015
 701 in May 2014
 
 Last May was the start of our issues with 'Over Voltage' on the Grid Network which basically meant as soon as the panels were generating more than about 2.0kw the inverter would get shut down and then restarted. Western Power finally changed the transformer in Oct 2015 so it will be interesting to compare summer 2016 to summer 2015

Don't have figures for last year to compare as this is when we were having all our 'fun' with the transformer and over voltage issues.

We've recently come back off 19 days holiday , to find the solar meter unit showing blank & the  cut out solar trip switch flipped over to off.

 I've reset it , fingers crossed that it was / it is a once in a blue moon event .

Current reading now 8282.28 ... up 5.38 units from the reading of 8276.90 when I reset it yesterday   .

I think I'll use this post to run a few daily comparisons for a week of so  ..just in case it does play up as many minds make for solutions & suggestions

current      8922.64
previous    8808.29
total            114.35

Well considering the lousy weather we've had for November it's better than I had hoped for .
 

 Does severe cold without a covering of frosting at minus 9 oC affect them much ?

It's been a cracking day to day .
Tomorrow looks like it's going to be similar , so I'm going to see how many units our panels have produced in the period  from midnight tonight till midnight tomorrow . 

 Has anyone else done a real good sunny day check of the numbers this year ?

South facing  3.5kW array in SW Scotland.   Off grid, so  everything we make, we use.   

Best day so far was 19.6kWh.    :sunshine:

18.68 KWhr today , the sun didn't fully get his hat off till about 10.30hrs , the after noon heat would have made up for things if we had had an immersun heater too , the sun trap side of he bungalow was reading 29.3 in full sun @ 20.20 hrs  .

I suspect it was in the mid 30's or even higher in the sun trap at  around 17.30 hrs . I just melted , even though I'd taken a cool shower a few minutes earlier .  .

Our generation for April, May and Jun to date has been 677, 675 and 582

11066.76 KW generated .  This is the total since installation  on 31 Jan 2014 .

 I missed out getting last months end figures as I was in hospital having a total knee replacement operation.

Should I go for panels in a string or each individually linked?

Ours are 16 panels connected in strings of four plugged into four separate channels on the inverter .
