    0.8 of an O.

    As we head for the middle of the month, I have not as yet hit 30% of PVGIS. I think it is just climatic circumstances rather than a defective system. January has been bleak at the centre of England.

    I'm only at 34% of my PVGIS so not much difference. Last year was 45% after 14 days.

    On the plus side, I've reduced consumption from 531kWh to 432kWh over that period so that's a tenner saved.
