    I am at risk of a spooning today :eek:

    0.44 O's (1.72kWh)

    Only if I don't post! Got 1.6kWh's, so 0.29 Os and the spoon is mine. Unless you want to share and we can spoon together? :shocked:

    Still, the good news is that the WNW is starting to see a tiny, weeny bit of sun, with generation starting to climb on sunny afternoons.

    January still ahead of target, surprisingly!

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    LOL. Lets not ;)

    I was selfishly hoping that you had suffered the same blanket of grey that Weston must have done. :cool:

    Saved from the 'spoon' by Oscar...only 2.65% below whatever you used for your numbers....cmon Mart..smiley-laughing021.gif

    0.92 O's for me......coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    It will always be my inverter dashboard.

    When I got up this morning at 6am, Wattson showed I'd already generated power.

    For clarity, I will never use Wattson figures, just not accurate enough. Good for seeing that I haven't left things running by mistake and that the solar / diverter is working. Not accurate enough for anything else :(
