February saved the best till last with 3.14 O's but it didn't make up for it being a very poor month.
Away from home, so don't have access to my records right now, so bloomin' rubbish will have to do. I can confirm there is plenty of sunshine in Mallorca

Another poor day to end a rubbish month - 1.1 O's. Ended February at 85% of PVGIS. That's 10 out of the last 12 months below PVGIS, but looking at the forecast, March could break that trend.6.4kWp (16 * 400Wp REC Alpha) facing ESE + 5kW Huawei inverter + 10kWh Huawei battery. Buckinghamshire.4
