Nowty Towers is looking at maybe the best solar PV week of the year coming up.
Very rare to see that forecast in the UK and a mini heatwave too, maybe will use the aircon this week.
I struggled through last week but home and EV batteries are a whisker off full from todays sun.

Re: Indian Summer September
For me, July was shocking (23% below baseline) and August (13% below baseline) was balanced with the better June (14% above baseline).
A nice September would be welcome as solar generation starts getting a bit marginal as we cross the equinox.

Re: Indian Summer September
My results for those months shows:
June 16.6% above average
July 0.7% " "
August 8.3% " "
Averages are over previous 12 years for 3.87kW system.
September has got off to a good start with 142kWh so far from both systems.
But like Nowty has said it's downhill from here
