Much the same here, just 0.52kWh generated. Just a grey and miserable day, bit chilly as well, not got above about 5°C all day. Only saving grace is that I put the heating on during a bit of sun yesterday, so the house is still sat at 21.7°C in the hall, so warm enough with no heating for now.
25 off 250W Perlight solar panels, installed 2014, with a 6kW PowerOne inverter, about 6,000kWh/year generated
6 off Pylontech US3000C batteries, with a Sofar ME3000SP inverter

1.1kWh :shock: More than double what we got here in the desert. :D

Second day running, 5 deg C max, easterly wind and <0.5kWh from the PV. Batteries made it until 2AM, (E7 comes on a 3:30AM), so approx. 15 1/2 hours, which is not bad considering the GSHP is now doing its thing and SWMBO decided to do some "essential washing". Forecast is for more of the same tomorrow. :roll:
An upside down day. A heroic 1.6kWh here.
19.7kW PV SE, VI, HM, EN & DW
Ripple 7kW WT & Gen to date 19MWh
42kWh LFPO4 storage
95kWh Heater storage
12kWh 210ltr HWT.
73kWh HI5
Deep insulation, air leak ct'd home
Zoned GCH & Hive 2
WBSx2
Low energy bulbs
Veg patches & fruit trees

This December keeps on giving:

Had a clear off this morning to assist nature, up from 73W to 0.5kW. House is running offgrid for literally seconds at a time as the sun dips in and out behind cloud :D

Sun is hitting the panels now on garage roof so I'm hoping the snow will slide off, panels on the caravan port are unlikely to clear due to the shallow angle. Might get a few Wh before sunset!

Best of fortune to you in that. Its just nice to see the fusion device again. My best producing top set are still mostly under cover, 10 degs only of slope.. C'est la vie (gallic shrug emoj).

You need one of those telescopic window cleaner brush and squeegee combinations JB, a 7 or 8 meter one should get you to where you need to be and address angles etc.
