Panic over for now!
If you go in to your profile and select "edit options", towards the bottom of the list you can shoose your own "skin" and from that list I've selected the old design, which works. So I can eek a bit more time out of the site. If it becomes permanent grey on white though I'm out, before the screen gives me cateracts or something :cool:
Firstly, panic over. The "read more info here" thingy at the top of the page is now working, and the info says:
If you're already a member you'll see the old green version and won't be switched over unless you choose to.
Phew!
Secondly, monster April. Never hit target (509kWh) before. Never got a 500 April before. This month is also not a 500 as I got 119% of target and 607.5kWh's. Yum, yum, yum.
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.0 -

Hi All
Well, adding to what a number of others have reported, April '15's total generation ended up topping the league for months starting with the letter 'A', by a pretty reasonable margin of ~9% over April '11 .... as for being anywhere near the best monthly generation to date, well there's plenty of prior months (all starting with 'M' or 'J') well ahead on the list ... another ~20% on the total would just about have been enough, but that'd probably be asking a little too much for this early in the year ....
.... After some seriously heavy showers over the past couple of days, at least the panels have now had a decent wash and are ready for a blistering May ...
