    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!

    Okay Brains,

    That doesn't of course explain why many of us who "were already members" kept reporting some idiotic changes to our display format.

    There are going to be no May miracles this week looking at the forecast. A dull & damp weekend ahead - on a Bank holiday, who would have guessed?!

    My April final production figure was 551kWh against PVGIS of 422kWh :j

    Previous Aprils:

    2012: 399kWh
    2013: 435kWh
    2014: 439kWh
    2015: 551kWh

    Thankfully many of you have thrashed the numbers in April, so when we submit our readings for FIT it won't ring the alarm bells for being way out of kilter with expectations!

    Go in to your user control panel.
    Find the "edit options" link.
    Towards the bottom of the page is a setting for how the forum looks.
    Select "New masthead, fixed width, less bright" from the list - save the setting and hopefully the screen will cease to burn holes in your retinas.

    If I'm the brains in this team, then we're in serious trouble!

    Have you tried the variation on Murphy's Law - "If it's stuck, hit it with a hammer. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway."

    Bit dull here (more ways than one). May generation well below target so far. ;)

    A paltry 3.3 O's yesterday.

    April's figures:

    PVGIS: 378kWh

    Generated: 519kWh (+141kWh/+37%)

    (The best month since I bought the Geo Chorus in July 2013.)
    4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North Lincs
    Installed June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400

    Montly Stats are in, and again over PVGIS target.

    565.6 kWh generated (PVGIS target of 436kWH)

    Which puts me at 130% of PVGIS... Excellent job! :)

    Not the best month in terms of PVGIS target, that still goes to December with 143% of PVGIS. Must not grumble though, judging by the excitement on here, this April just gone probably won't be repeated for a while.... :)
