    Slightly better today, 9.48kWh, but still some cloud. Forecast tomorrow is uninterrupted sunshine so hope to make double figures.
    And so it came to pass, 11.97kWh, but still quite a bit of cloud in the afternoon so scope for another 1kWh or so I would say, which would have matched my all-time record set on 30th April, slightly further away from the solstice than today. But that's basically it for now - very little sun forecast for the next 5 days. :(

  • 22.2 kWh at last a reading over 20 and a near perfect outline of a "beaver" rather than a "porcupine" on the graph appearing on the gizmo in the living room.
