I had one of those yesterday. 2 good days, then a wipe-out. Looks like the spoon has got your name on it
Still going today. Will update in a bit.0 -
I was sure the spoon was coming in my direction today but somehow I've managed 0.24 O's.Sterlingtimes wrote: »It has been virtually a non-day.

Well, I suppose I should consider myself pretty fortunate then at 0.55 O's today.
A flurry of snow today that came to nothing and allowed the generation of 2.2Kwh.4kw PV fitted 4th July 2014 (Green Energy NW £5600). WSW facing, 30 deg Pitch, Unshaded, Samil Solar River inverter, 16 Solar World Mono panels, Iboost on Immersion Heater. located in mid Lincolnshire.0 -
I've managed a respectable 1.52 O's (5.95kWh) which I'm pleased with, especially as it turned overcast as soon as I turned on the electric cooker for lunch!
No spoon for me today!0 -

Your results are void unless you submit an overall total!
I don't feel an overall total is fair but maybe 3 systems then 3 totals.If my panels were all facing the same way then yes I'd agree, but as they're facing totally opposite directions there's no way anyone could get a fair comparison.....besides....if I did an overall total it'd be a 2 horse race EVERYDAY between myself and Mart for the wooden spoon!!
If you post all your totals then we can all see what could be made if we had panels facing that way.3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -

I think that you're right. I take custodianship of the wooden spoon for the first time.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0 -
