    Interesting weather split. I got 1.25 O's on Monday, when most seemed to have a great day (it rained, rained, rained).

    Yesterday, when folk seemed to have a poorish day, I got 3.92 O's.

    So the UK is 'a game of two halves' lately.

    Yesterday made even better because I took doggie for a walk and met a lady with a Newfoundland pup. 13 weeks old and weighing in at 15kg+ already, with webbed paws twice the size of my 25kg lab's!

    Mart.

    PS Currently projecting 99% of April target if the rest of the month is average, approx 500kWh. M.
    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.

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

    Being who and what I am, I only come on this thread when I've got something specific to say - so I've had a Hawaii three days running and I hope you can read that, 'cos I don't believe it has ever happened before - at least, not to me and Rufus.
    Interestingly, though, April so far has been less sunny than March, when we had 14 Hawaiis in 31 days. I don't recall this happening before either - at least in the five years I've been measuring it.
    Blessings on all your roofs,
