Maiden + 0.63 (25.94 kWh)
Reasonable day. One day I will get a perfect bell. Hopefully not too long and with some cool breeze to keep the temp down.
7.5 O's up on June 2014 after 4 days.
I thought i was on for a bell day today too!
I noticed a blemish anyway - just a shame that i had a grid power cut at 3:15 today.
Judging by the weather which was clear sky, i would have bagged a further 8 kWh making it very likely a 28 or 29kWh day, at very least a 27kWh.
With the power cut it was a 21.8kWh day or a 5.45 O day.
Roll on the next clear sky day!0 -

At this time of year, my shallow roof is a great deal better than most 'ordinary' rooves @ around 45deg and almost as good as Waywardmike's.
Hence my 28.05kWh and a beautifully shaped curve.
Looking back, we seem to have maxxed out @3.3kW for several hours around (true) Noon.
Wish now I'd popped up there with my watering can

5.5 Os. Spare washing machine has suffered from being stored in the garage and is going to the tip. A new washing machine is now installed but this happened too late in the day to use the generated energy.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0
