    Maiden + 0.38 (25.36 kWh) Best day of the month and 3rd best of the year.

    Did peak above the system rating at 4.1 kW lasted over 15 mins. It sure helps having sun and wind. Amazed at the total with all the clouds we had here.

    As I type this my monthly total has just reached last Sept total exactly to 3 decimal places. 272.922

    My total since instalation is 3989 kWh so should pass 4 MW today. Still have 8 days left of my 1st year of production.

    How do you use so little electricity at night: no freezers, no fridges, no nocturnal teenager, no equipment on standby?
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    The day started so well. Now it's dreadful. Humpty's not happy.

    Chest Freezer and a fridge in garage (fridge for Stella), Fridge Freezer (kitchen) no Kids at home. Switch TV and Freesat box off at plug (unless recording later). If your impressed with my night time use, have a look at Leggo's Wattson, he puts mine to shame....smiley-laughing021.gif
