    Only an O and a half today. Just need 48kWh tomorrow to hit August target ..... and it's a grey and rainy day too. Oh well, still a cracking year so far overall.

    Some people seem to have had all my sunshine this month. Just need thirteen (13!) Os today on each system to hit the August target.

    System 1 was installed in July 2010. This July and August have been the worst on record.
