Thankfully only frost here so a good day yesterday at 1.83 which is pretty good for us in mid December. Only a week to go to the shortest day.

Finally a sunny day allowing the A2A to blast out. Middling Dec so far, with the usual massive differences day to day, nearly 0% to 200%. But such is the joy at the short end of the sunny days.
Currently projecting 96% for December.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.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.3 -
Another day with Sun. Snow on the panels early doors but once gone some nice production. A few stray clouds spoilt the party.

A totally respectable 2.69 Os today (9.2kWh from 3.42kWp). Bright sunshine all day and the frost was clear by 9am. Most of it went into an oil filled electric radiator to save on the gas bill.2

Most of it went into an oil filled electric radiator to save on the gas bill.Ever thought of installing an Air2Air heat pump and getting 4 x the heat.A good day here too, 1.87 O's today which covered domestic consumption and topped up batteries for this evening.
