    Fast approaching 7 O's. Just a few hundred more watts needed! Best day of the year by far.

    Yesterday was a day full of surprises, least of which was ending the day with 5.64 worth of ho's!

    Not sure about today, we seem to be in a sunshine hole with thick dark cloud all around waiting to consume us!

    First kWh approaching, with it spitting out 1.74kW as I type!

    Although we are due rain at some point today, that should cool the panels!
    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.
