    Hi All

    Well, what a really odd month ... no really memorable generation days, loads of clouds including a handful of frustrating days when cloud hung around almost all day with blue sky visible only a few miles away .... but amazingly, ended up with a total which beat the previous best by just over 4% .... just goes to show how bad August usually turns out to be then! ....

    Imported gas - none, electricity - 70.1kWh

    126.8% of pvgis - by far the best month compared to pvgis since install - similar percentages in some winter months but then we are talking a few 10s kwh not 105 extra!
    I think....
