Generating identical photons from remote emitter-based bright single-photon sources is an important step for scaling up optical quantum technologies. Here, we study the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference of photons emitted from remote sources based on semiconductor quantum dots. We make use of a deterministic fabrication technique to position the quantum dots in a spectrally resonant micropillar cavity and fine tune their operation wavelength electrically. Doing so, we can match four pairs of sources between five distinct sources, study them under various excitation schemes and measure their degree of indistinguishability. We demonstrate remote indistinguishabiltiy between 44±1% and 69±1% depending on the pair of sources and excitation conditions, record values for quantum dots in cavities. The relative contribution of pure dephasing and spectral diffusion is then analysed, revealing that the remaining distinguishability is mostly due to low frequency noise
