    Rubbish here in Hertfordshire. 0.91Kwh today

    Shall post our total January generation figure at the end of the month. Have to say it is not looking good. The shading from the nearby trees (about 500 of them) have really stopped us generating much since the sun has been lower.:mad:

    Just hope we have a real good summer this year.;)

    Double zero here (even the 1 decimal place TGM is laughing at me).

    Hopefully 2 lovely days of sunshine to round off Jan, certainly needed here. Every bit of green near me is leaking water, it's simply flowing out of the parks, fields etc and across pavements. The Cardiff sponge is full to the brim (and beyond).

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW)

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
