Likewise, still hanging on IOF.NedS said:
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. But a week of rain, rain/showers ahead. But currently projecting 97% for the month.
Annual generation within 0.5kWh of target, as at close of play yesterday.
Still my best option over the past few weeks, and will keep an eye on it!
