    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)

    We are almost at 50% for the month which isn't bad given we are in an increasing sun hours month
    Why, is the average 'increasing sun hours month' different from the average 'decreasing sun hours month'?
