    Oscar, what a beauty! (and the dog ain't bad either.)

    Only an O yesterday, but still well ahead of target, but weather is changing this week.

    Off to Homebase later for an erratic walk, and perhaps a cheeky widdle!

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    Home and very depressed!
    Left Corby at 6am in "heavy drizzle" - you know the stuff that really gets you wet!?
    Up the A1, rain stops as I'm passing the Withams.
    Watch the sun come up Lincoln at my first stop before 8am.
    Bright weather all the way to Grantham, Sleaford, Melton and into 3 stops in Leicester sun visor doing a grand job.

    Kept looking at the bank of cloud to the south hoping it was a bit further than it appeared, but didn't want to check solaredge online, had we got some sun in Corby?

    Get home and not even a single ho :(

    It's still spluttering 13w, but I'll call it at 3.853kWh and 0.96325 ho's.

    Good news though, I'm permie from next Monday and Lucifer has got a full time job that he starts officially today, but had a trial day yesterday.
    Just need to get Beelzebub sorted now, but he's off to Spain at the end of the month at a friends Vet practice, experience for Uni, so we'll have to wait until mid November before selling him off to the highest bidder!!
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    You should have come a bit further N (& brought your panels). Just shy of 10kWh here today - in spite of a weather forecast that suggested we might get an occasional glimpse of Sun but not to bank on it.

    Perversely, I'm hoping it will be dull tomorrow ! We're having a planned outage whilst some cables are relocated. I've been promised a portable generator on site but last time that happened, supply voltage wasn't steady enough for inverter to synchronise to it. But fingers crossed we might end up with free power all day (we did last time) as it's much easier to connect the generator after the meter than it is to connect before it.
