    Quite like the current last week of April, and the long-term weather forecast that said it would be terrible.

    Mon got 27.1kWh or 4.86 Os. Tues got 27.5kWh or 4.93 Os.

    Weather currently piddling down, but forecast says it'll be nice all day afterwards, and sun all day tomorrow.

    April target is 509kWh. Never hit April target before, and never got into the 500's in April. Ironically, if today and tomorrow total 3kWh above daily target, then I won't get a 500 again, as current prediction is 597kWh ..... but I'm not complaining! :D

    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 that escalated quickly!
    After my last post, went and stood in the queue for a blood test (15 people in front of me at 7.38!).
    8.02, got ticket number 87 and the heavens opened! Absolutely threw it down!

    At work in Kibworth and the sun is breaking through, but looking at the inverter it's not cleared in Corby :(
    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.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    I'm really struggling with the new look. I can't stand the glare on my laptop and it's too fiddly from the iPhone because it's nearly impossible to scroll the screen without accidentally clicking one of the many links!

    May knock posting on the head here after end of month tomorrow.

    Anyway, tomorrow weather looks reasonable then sadly our good run ends as the first week of May is look rather unsettled.
