The outlook is much the same here. I'm wondering if now is the time to jump off IOF, although my spreadsheet says otherwise (it says I should still generate at least 1.5 times more than I consume in September). It only takes a couple hours of decent sun between the showers and we end up with a decent outcome, so I'm sitting tight for now.Martyn1981 said:Generation better than the weather forecast suggests ... so far.
