    1.2 Os. Virtually a non-day.
    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".

    Just 0.9 Os today, still it probably covered general use, but we did have to 'buy' some leccy to pop the dishwasher on. Ran out of plates, and tomorrow doesn't look great anyway, plus washing to do. Oh well, have to buy some occasionally, take pity on EDF. ;)

    Really not sure why people are worrying about one low day.

    We generated 4.46kWh yesterday so earned £2.25 which is well over double the daily cost of keeping the system on the roof. And of course we'll still get a lot more than that for the super days preceding it.

    Panels have been nicely washed down ready for record generation next time the sun shines (trust me - it will !) and we'll be able to flush our WCs a much as we like for the next couple of months.
