    Why, is the average 'increasing sun hours month' different from the average 'decreasing sun hours month'?
    That's pretty straightforward. Before the Winter Equinox when daily sunshine hours were decreasing you'd expect to get more than 50% of the month's generation before the middle day; from now till May, you'd expect to get more than 50% after the middle day of the month.

  • 3.22 Os here ending the week with a decent generation. 4 days we got over 12 kWh. And I sneaked the hot water timer setting on the boiler down by 10mins a day last Monday and the missus hasn't noticed the water not being hot enough to fetch your skin off so all good for February
