    Ended the day on 3.04 O's (12.09 kWh) still producing around 50 W but that will make no difference.

    As you can see nothing to note until 11:00 then up and down all day.

    With a few micro Watt hours still coming in, I have only just passed the O. I had high hopes for today, but it turned out to be grim.
    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".

    Cloud all day. 0.92 Os. March is being a strange month up here. Im still above forecast though so looking good.

    Geo meter out again. It was fairly accurate but has been under reading the last 2 days. Makes for a nice suprise when I take the meter but I hope it doesnt keep under reading (its a pulse reader so will have a look if the sensor has been knocked).
    2.43 from 9 x 270 Trina panels. Samil solar river 2600 inverter. Due South. 30 pitch. East coast of Scotland just North of Forth bridge.
