    Nice AM, then when the tide came in, the Sun went out:eek: made 3.075O's:D

    I am sure when I was at school the Moon controlled the tides. I did not think it had anything to do with the sun?smiley-laughing025.gif

    A/an Hawaii again today; + 1.08 O's. Could have been a bit better but Inverter was swapped onto an MCB rather than RCD. Lost 10 minutes of peak generation.... coffee.gif

    The wife has pinched the wand to use for something else!smiley-laughing021.gif smiley-ashamed002.gif

    Did you not think about doing this at a time when you had no production? Think of the money you could have gained. I noticed the moon was nearly 3/4's last night plenty of light from that! smiley-laughing021.gif

    Hawaii+ 0.16 O's

    Think it could have been great today but the afternoon was pants! High score was 3.84 kWh for nearly an hour before the Sun ran away! :mad:

    Missed todays performance as I had to drive down South over night and back this morning. 730 miles in 16 hours. Now I can sleep after nearly 36 hours! :j

    Need 15 O's over the next 4 days then I can celebrate!

    73% on the 17th of an increasing insolation 31 day month - some sort of record?

    I thought we were doing well at 66%
    I think....

    @ Michaels
    We're south east facing, so early mornings are good for us. Last couple of good days have seen us kicking out 6kWh by 08.30, peaking anywhere between 10.00 and 13.00 with the inverter capping a fair bit, dropping to 1kWh at 15.15, which then fades to nothing until inverter switches into night mode around 20.15 ish.

    After the poor winter months, it's nice to get back into positive territory, although today is pants!
