    All things considered (this morning deluge!) not a bad day with just over 4 O's (16.6 kWh).

    Yep! Better than expected, maybe that's because I said it would be bad ...... hmmmm ..... I could put this power to good use:-

    Looks like the rest of May will be terrible. :(

    (Worth a shot).

    So, got 3.7 Os today, and month end prediction is fractionally positive for the first time.

    Mart.

    About 3.8 Os. At one stage, mid afternoon, the panels got as good as a free jet-wash.
