    Would have needed an awfully big battery to cover the last 8 weeks on PV plus storage only....

    I'd need an extension lead plugged into Dinorwig!

    Another low day (0.1kWh) and another soggy warm walk with the doggy. Local recreation ground is now about 3 inches under water. Doesn't help that drainage is poor being below high tide. Might take up bog snorkeling ...... that's a Welsh thing isn't it(?) but will need a longer lead.

    Expect more mud till the temp drops. Bring on the sun and the frost. :snow_grin

    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
