May Solar Generation Falls Short: Disappointing Solar Panel performance in May

We are now half way through the month and so far the electricity generated by our solar panels has been disappointing with the poor weather to blame. At the current rate May will be the first month when solar electricity generated has fallen well below target.

May solar panel performance lags behind target

Our record peak electricity generated remains the 1st April when you would actually expect the lengthening days to 22 June to break records consistently. The failure to reach new peaks shows the lack of clear sunny days and the number of rainy days since the hosepipe ban was introduced. Although the sun has shone at different times over the last 6 weeks we have not had a single day when the sun has been out all day with clear blue skies.
