    But use of generated power is important. 94% today!

    Aahhh, so it's you that expands the forum screen....smiley-laughing021.gif

    And import is important @ at over 10p per kWh in most cases.....:D...

    Definately think an 8 is possible. Nice bright day but cool breeze and I think somebody will see one.

    Not as good as yesterday but with 11Kw or 4.52 im still tracking over monthly target.

    Hoping I've got one. Haven't checked the inverter yet (in the loft).

    Been away for four days but have recorded 112Kw/h over the past four days - avg. 28Kw/h or 7 O's

    Record was 30.7 Kw/h (7.67 O's) on 3rd June and that wasn't a perfect bell curve due to some cloud in morning.

    Today's Breakdown @ 20:32 hrs:-

    Used........6.4 kW.
    Exported...6.89 kW.
    Imported..1.00 kW. (of that; 800 watts from Midnight - 06:00 hrs). Trying to work out how I can reduce my export during the daylight, when I only imported (paid for) 200 watts....:rotfl:...:rotfl:...smiley-laughing021.gif
