    Oscar, my systems are extremely consistent this morning, both generating 0W (to as many decimal points as you like).

    Edit: Scrap that, the little fellah's watched me hit submit, then jumped to a mighty 35W - here we go!

    It is a medium sized tall thin conifer, on our property but would wish to take neighbours views into account if we considered removing.

    Hiya Tunnel, I saw your name on the post and thought 'wonder if they've thought anymore about that extension'? Guess you have thought a bit more. Cool.

    Be interesting to see what crossover you get mid day next summer.

    How does extending work with your leccy supplier? Naughty question, but did you get another TGM or stick with the original? ;);)

    Hi Mart,

    I got another TGM,the system on the garage "looses" sunlight about an hour or so earlier than i expected due to shading from next doors house. Can't even compare the 2 systems yet as like i said,plenty of lovely sunny starts but also plenty of cloudy-ish afternoons. After it was installed i read on here about a different inverter that only shuts down per panel,not system(if i read that right) Hindsight hey,never mind. Its in and up and running,done about 90kwp since 22/9.

    Tunnel

    Ps I've not ruled out the WNW system yet,got to talk the wife round to that one yet,may just wait a while to see how yours performs too.

    Never mind the GW, just think of the £ - when is the last time you saw a Polar Bear anyway; you're still alive;)
