    I've been away for Christmas, looking back through the logs from the Tesla gateway for the powerwall I see 1.9 O of generation on Christmas day, which is the best day in December so far. The others were all best described as "unremarkable."

    Well bust my britches! 2.06 O's today so treble that required and finally surpassing pvgis for December. Another milestone being that of total generation since installation passing 17 MWh's.
    A huge thanks to all the good guys on here for their support and encouragement to get us this far. Mart for his renewables knowledge and eternal optimism, Z with seemingly endless knowledge in so many areas, plus other contributors too numerous to mention but whose advice/experiences has been no less appreciated.:T

    1.6 Os today and, despite some truly awful days on the way, I have exceeded December PVGIS for the first time, except possibly 2016, for which my figures are rather ropy.
