    June has carried on where May left off 3.57 O's or 14.3 kWh today:D

    Holmes says I used 418 kWh in May. My leccy meter says I paid for 131 kWh:T

    Also says I made 505 kWh compared to 511 kWh actual.

    I used 34 M3 gas on C/H:doh:Must do better mrs L

    According to PVGIS May is my best month.....so it's all downhill from here:eek:

    3.2 O's for me; not a good day, but the best this month so far...coffee.gif

    Howdy, folks! Old Grouser is back on the range, just in time to complain about the English Summer!


    We had a daily average of 3.81 Os during May, which was 8% above PVCIS, and a good bit higher than it seemed. June began with just on 4 Os (and the heating back on!). Today we'll be lucky if we get a whole kilowatt, let alone a single O, with driving rain and a howling gale knocking the garden to bits. So I'm on for a large wooden spoon today. At least there are blueish skies at Headingly, so back to the cricket after luncheon....

    I'll call it now! I was getting 34w about 15 mins ago, but it seems to have stopped!

    A poor day, but the wind and the rain, they loved it!

    Ended with 10.54kWh, or 2.635 in ho's.

    The outlook looks better with the wind dying, so hopefully we can get back to brighter days!
