    It wouldn't make an iota of difference to your generation !

    Yes but having Summer Tine all the time would change the time of day that I could use it.;)

    I hate these dank dark "afternoons" - better described as "after-lunches".

    Did you leave out the decimal between 1 & 6 by chance? ;)

    :rotfl:

    16.0 - I wonder if a full moon helped?
    Seriously though I wonder if having to generate at 250 volts (if you believe the inverter) has any effect.

    Next shock horror headline:

    PV Panels Cause Family Fire Tragedy.

  • A mere 3.3kWh today, despite the early promise shown by blue skies which soon disappeared.

    Seems I did fairly well with my 3.9kWh yesterday. Still well above PVGIS for November so far.

    It would 'move' your window by precisely 1 hour - hardly a major benefit.

    And I dislike the dark mornings that would be caused by moving the clocks forward one hour even more! I hated the 1968-1970 winters that resulted from the BST experiment. But we could argue forever about that :)
