    Considering the very grey cloud experienced as I drove around Leicester and Northants today, it's settled on a happy 40.5 winks!

    Currently at 87.7% of April target, drops my daily target from 13.1 kWh at the beginning to 6.9 kWh.
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    I would say that today has been a spikey day:

    Hi All

    Looked like another bell curve day today, much clearer sky than yesterday with midday generation a good 200W higher, then the clouds started rolling over ... the curve looks like someone chomped on half an apple ...

    Anyway, PVGIS target passed, worst April figure passed, March '15 total passed .... 8 days to go, but they'll still need to be pretty decent to top the best April list ...

    Sorry to say, the forecast is all downhill from here! By next Monday the daytime highs could be half those of now!

    Yeah, forecast here is similar (well it would be wouldn't it!) nice today, but after that only a few reasonable looking days before month end.

    But do I care, do I hell. Coz I got a 2015 Hawaii 5.18 Os (28.9kWh). Hooray. :j:T:j:T:j

    Current month end prediction of 115%, so probably enough spare in the tank now to keep it above 100%, for the 4th month in a row ....... fingers crossed.

    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.

    Well, today is looking "ok" again - not as good as late, but I reckon 40 winks maybe?

    Fri, Sat = Grim

    Sun = Very grim & very wet!

    Mon, Tue, Wed = Reasonable for a Typhoo or so.

    That's my guesses.

    Drinking coffee in McDevils car park, watching a Robin outside my open car door, looking at all the comments about the weather and wondering what planet are you lot on?!

    Very grey and overcast, a lot cooler and can't see Mr blue sky putting in an appearance at the moment :(
