    Very dull here this morning - the PV hasn't even woken from it's slumber yet and it's nearly 8am. :eek:

    Ha Ha loser!

    I've got 61W being pumped out, so not enough to cover my computer, monitor and CFL bulb (very dark here). Perhaps I'd be better off switching off and going for a walk, rather than falsely gloating? :(

    Still knocking out TyphOOO's but no sign yet of a wink, let alone 4O of em.

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.

    If the inverter would just wake...8:15am, nothing.

    Probably an April record here, but 9:30am, still too dark to activate the inverter!

    I can see who hogged the Sun today then!

    Utterly miserable day here.

    0.87 O's (3.71 kWh)

    Thankfully not cold, so not hammering the import to keep warm either.

    No sun today, but 2 Os through the cloud cover. FWIW I found my March 2012 data on a backup disk and added it to yesterday's post. It confirms my suspicion that March 2015 was a averagely good month, and that March 2013 was a stinker.


    And here beginneth the sunny season...
