    So I left work yesterday with the sun out (mostly sunny at work). I got home and the sun is hiding behind a dark cloud and I can see blue sky all around except our area. oh well. :eek: Only 3.92 O's yesterday. Looking at the weather forecast in the morning, was hoping for closer to 5 O's. Only just on target.

    Double disaster for me today. First one its totally dull and just over an O. With only 30kwh needed for target this month, it was all looking good. Second, looks like the boiler has broke, man coming tomorrow, and no hot water. And hardly any iboost, so I had to use normal paid for electricity to heat the water tonight :(

    1.19 ho's today.

    According to PVOutput, I'm at 100% for May, but I'm actually shy by 1.103kWh!!

    Think I should hit target tomorrow????!!
    A couple of good days would be nice, but not sure with the forecast around here not brilliant?

    Different weather here then as I had a poorish day, but not as bad as others. 2.5 Os.

    Pretty much spot on target for May, so anyone's guess looking at the next weeks weather. Hopefully today will give me a slight buffer going forwards.

    20MWh looking good for early July.

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
