    Where's AndyWSM (Western Super Mare) gone, we used to get similar results, though weather differentials across the Bristol Channel could shake things up some days.

    Mart.

    Think he is still alive; unless the 12 kW that was being used, was in trying to revive him on the 23.03.2016 @ 1/2 midnight....smiley-laughing021.gif...coffee.gif

    Producing 2kW at 7.30am when I put the kettle on, unfortunately it's a 3kW model.

    Weather today is stunning, and gen is zooming upwards.

    Tomorrow Wifey is volunteering for about 6hrs at the World Half Marathon through Cardiff. The forecast from just before to just after is horrendous rain with near gale force winds. I'll show my support by eating some Cadbury's Creme Egg icecream whilst watching on telly.

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
