    well the weather forecast was basically right but, brilliantly clear skies all day except for a patch of thick cloud that stayed in front of the sun all day, unbelievable.

    No complaints here. Clear blue skies with a few clouds - but at least mine kept moving about. Several instantaneous bursts over a kW and a daily total just over 3kW.

    Even added 600W to immersion heater (approx. equal to 2 fluid ozs of heating oil : "Every Little Helps" :D )

    And of course tomorrow will be Winter Solstice Day so maybe things will pick up soon.

    Hmm - 20th of the month and haven't quite reached 50% of pvgis yet - even with the solstice I am far from hopeful - Novembers 75% looks a more realistic (stretch) target.
    I think....
