    Record August day for me today. 1.7 East + 0.8 West.

    That's a mighty 0.44kWh/kWp. Been raining nearly non stop for 24 hours. Possibly best forgotten.

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    Car Insurance Carver!
    We must be bucking the trend in cider country, as we're just a nose ahead of PVGIS for August at the moment (pro-rata). We've only managed a single 20+kWh day in the whole of August so far (10th), but Sunday was nearly there with a 19.8kWh. Yesterday was a dire 4.2kWh, our worst day since July 3rd.

    Today has started well for our SSE array, 3kWh clocked up already by 0930.
