    Yes I realised that in my later post:T

    Been out all day today and got back to see production literally fell off a cliff around 3pm.

    By that time though I had 4.15 O's so a pretty good day really.:D

    I'm having a poor August. My production is bottom of the league table. I have just made 2 Os at 19:38. At 276/362 at this stage PVGIS target is too challenging.
