We managed 63C at the bottom of the cylinder on the 20th February, and yesterday (21st) we managed 55C for our Navitron solar tubes. Suddenly the sun seems to be noticeably higher, stronger and in the sky longer.
The PV system's also been doing well - 8kWh exported yesterday, and 8kWh the day before. Of course, the extra 2.2kWp has helped!

Great month so far The 2.4KWP PV at an angle of 60° generated 111 kwh this month so far over 5 kwh a day  the "PVGIS estimates of solar electricity generation tool" estimates Feb 3.79 kwh a day av 106 for the whole Feb In the deep winter i always start to worry if everything is wired up right cause poor performance , but now the sun shows power  Billi |

A good month for sun. 8.2 KWh daily average which is 95% of July 09 output and 98% of August 09 output. High pressure meant a big differential between day and night temperatures with below zero temperatures most nights.

Amazing Feb , like the whole winter here in South west (Irelands) My 2.4 KW PV at an 60° Angle generated 157.2 kwh this month so thats over 65 kwh per installed kwp There is an European site to compare performance and a "Ranking list " of the top 10 http://sonnenertrag.eu/tops.php?&lang=enCompared with Germany it looks like we are second Even in France and Italy we would be on that list (if they have their readings all updated  ) Billi |

Iain, rt,
How do you copy/paste the graphs from BDPV?
Iain, yours shows the great regional differences in this country.
Yours, for Devon was 53 Wh/Wp for both Jan. and Feb.
Here in central Scotland I had 23 Wh/Wp for Jan.(covered in snow for most of the time) and 49 for Feb.
Also, the day-lenght is shorter up here.
Interseting to see what happens, come June/July with the long days.
Michiel
