    The torch worked managed to squeeze out 1.70 O's (6.78 kWh)smiley-laughing005.gif

    The torch beam must have hit my panels as the inverter woke to produce a further 40w :rotfl:

    1.71 O's (6.69 kWh) was my final score.

    Couldn't manage a Bond today, fell a little short at 1.6 O's (8.9kWh). Currently predicting 102% for Mch. The next 3 days look nice, but are followed by 5 grey ones, so a little doubtful of a third + month for 2015. :undecided

    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).
