Yesterday not very good, rained for most of the afternoon, got a total of 2.7 O's.
Today, got off to a great start, managed to check on my shading issues, quite minor in the morning. Looking at the graph for individual panels you can almost see the shadow move across the panels as each effected one kicks in.
Anyway, started generating at 04:45 and ended at 21:15 giving a nice grand total of 6.24 O's. I was a gnats thingy off of 25kWh today at 24.969kWh. (Maybe I should shine a torch at the roof, just to tip it over!)Martin (With an I)

So only 6.67 Os here, tomorrow looking good again and I am one third up on the month so far but then it looks much less promising after that.
