    Carp day here on the E. Coast today:(

    Rain, rain and more rain.

    At 2.00 pm this afternoon I had only made 2 kWh:eek:

    Just squeezed the last few watts out, to end the day on 2.15 O's or 8.6 kWh:D

    Concerning awards on this thread:

    First there was the wooden spoon.

    Then there was the silver spoon.

    Now we have a new one.

    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".

    Oh! Oscar.

    I admire your altruism. Yesterday you generated 14.37 kWh and exported 12.11 kWh. If I were your neighbour, I'd ask you to plug in the extension lead for me.

    As a correction of being altruistic; earlier today was more akin to me...

    General question: How accurate is your inverter?
