    Hope the rest of 2016 ain't going to continue like this....
    I'd be really amazed if it didn't follow the same trend as the last 4 years viz. hardly any generation in Jan, significantly better in Feb and continuing to improve till June (then downhill all the way till Xmas).

    And it's really not the end of the world if you generate nothing at all this month; we'll make up for it later.

    Fantastic response from my installers....had them out this morning (2 years after install) to check things over. The cause of requiring circa. 400 watts for the system to kick into life - water ingress in connections between panels.
