    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!)

    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.

    I got myself one of those free battery packs from Orange/EE for charging all our mobiles, we get about 4-5 full charges from one(got 2) before we recharge them during daylight hours. Saves having to import if a phone runs out in the darker hours(it all helps).
    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)

    22.39kwh for me yesterday - 6.39 O's, my best day so far. So that's 35% of my July target in the first 9 days of July, currently averaging 2.4kwhs per day over target for the month. So far so good.

    That's my Hawaii for today (can you tell I just put my solar edge online today :) and am wasting my time watching it...)

    Currently at 3.7kwh but I reckon I will be lucky to grind out a maiden today.
    I think....
