Today was 21kWhrs and 4.86 O's.
Actually had sunshine after more than a week of overcast skies and drizzle. Though it did decide to rain early evening - fortunately after I brought dry laundry in as I didn't notice!
July was 434kWhrs and 100 O's. This is less than last year and less than June. June was also higher than July last year (though with a smaller difference) and I suspect it is due to the E-W panels being more sensitive to number of daylight hours.
