    1.75 Os today, about spot on target. Overall a nice start to the month and currently predicting 109% for October, if the rest is average.

    Still no heating on, though it's getting closer, and have had to put 'big boy pants' on this afternoon, as shorts and T-shirt are just not enough. But still a very warm start to the colder months.

    Mart.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    We admitted defeat this morning. Boiler on for about 30 mins, heavy curtains fitted to the loft stairs. Usually rollout the lino to cover the stone hallway, but the dog ate most of it last winter when she was a pup! (BTW, she's off to big school in Lemington next week to train as a guide dog, so some tears shall be shed on Thursday. :()

    Winter is coming!
