And while WT1 is taking a breather PV has woken up in the last three days culminating in two bigger ducks today, 2.2 O's so reversing the trend with pvgis and now sitting at 109% in comparison. Afraid we used it all today so none spare for the neighbours.Coastalwatch said:Three poor days here, two very little ducks today 0.22 O's and currently running at 47% of pvgis.
Edit, After a few quiet days then thankfully WT1 has woken up again and produced circa 18 kWh's so far today.

A good day for December again today 1.37 O's and while tomorrow's looking reasonable sunshine wise the next three days look decidedly dodgy for renewable energy generation!
