One juicy Hawaii yesterday, washing, drying, dishwasher and (travel) kettle on numerous times and not a watt purchased....nnniiiiccccee.

Tick in the box here ... had one to use with the pv for years. The 'normal' (~3kW) kettle is used at night, when generation is high or when we're desperate for a quick cuppa, the rest of the time it's either the travel kettle or (in winter when the logs are burning) a stovetop kettle or cast iron teapot & trivet ...Nice to see that we are not the only ones using a travel kettle!!!

Wow, 500W kettle? I better not mention that to the wife as she moans our 1kW kettle takes too long to boil as it is. I know full well that if I suggested buying one of those what the answer would be and it'd be something like thisThe 500 watt travel kettle is used permanently in our house now.

The O Graph at pvoutput.org is quite interesting. It covers the readings of 488 UK members. The wavy line is the "O" plotting and refer to the figures (Os) on the left axis.
The UK group as a whole has not achieved 6 O's on any one day during June.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".0 -

A shade over 2 O's here - not much but...it was our first day, they finished the install at about lunchtime in the rain. We have 2 panels SSE and 14 WSW so were still generating at 1.5kw when the sun came out 5 minutes ago. WE are in St Albans (51.75,-0.30)I think....0
