September's report

This month's graph shows that a combination of shortening days and autumnal weather has heavily cut into the amount of power my solar panels can generate.


There is a very noticeable dip on the right side that began on the 13th September when a weather system cut my power to less than one unit (0.9) of electricity. This was repeated two weeks later and the 30-day average (orange line) has made a strong dip to 7.22 units. The overall average (yellow) is sliding more gently, as would be expected, and is now at 11.19 units a day since the panels were installed.

I'm still waiting for EDF to send my first payment after I sent my meter reading. It is now three weeks. I'll need to chase them up.
