    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    TGM's show zero, guesstimate from inverters is about 0.01 Os.

    We had an ickle bit of rain here!

    Forecast says that the sun will come out (well will be behind a white cloud) from 4pm tomorrow. Forecast also says that sunset is at 4.15pm .... Woohoo!
