Well done, Oscar. I used to adopt that philosophy when posting daily on this thread but some people didn’t like that I read a particular newspaper and blanked me. I now am too embarrassed by my underperforming ENE/WSW system to post. I only achieved 88% of PVGIS 5 last year - may be I need to use an older version. 😉Oscargrouch said:Thought I would be nice this evening and tick a Thanks to all contributors who post, those who do not reciprocate, your binned
