Yesterday scored a zero, not entirely unusual at this time of year for my ESE TGM to clock a zero as it moves in whole kWh's, but a zero from the WNW TGM which shows 1/10th's is a tad on the pathetic side.
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.

A miserable morning returned an equally miserable 0.1 O, then the sun came out until sundown taking us to 0.66 O. Still under par for Jan but giving a useful return sufficient to power the ASHP's and top the thermal store up.:)East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical.
