    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Well, the weather forecast for today turned out to be a steaming hot pile of **** !
    0.27 O's and not looking good for January's target.:mad:
    Still, if your going to have a rubbish month, better to have it in January/December I suppose.
    Roll on spring !!

    Two 1.31 O's in a row, helping to pull month end prediction up to a reasonable 98%. Monday's forecast suggests 100% is looking good.

    I didn't see a Bond (double OO7) till the 18th of Feb last year. :(
    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.

    We had one on the 28th Jan last year but there's not much sign of that this year in the long range weather forecast. :(
