    Feb scores on the doors...

    Feb 2015 154/169.327 = 109.95% of target
    Feb 2016 154/207.493 = 134.74% of target.

    If I add up the targets for Dec, Jan and Feb, I get 356.8
    If I add up the achieved totals for the same period, I get 356.871, so Febs gen leaves me with a surplus of 0.071kWh to offset against Nov. 2015 :)

    Cold weather and brighter days makea huge difference it sems?
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.
