    I'm going to have to get a remote reader as my inverter etc is in the garage. Went to my allotment at 11:30ish yesterday 1.28 O's at that time. Got dull after that and I forgot to look when I got home again.
    Any recommendations for a remote read out?
    None that work as accurate as the Gen Meter; maybe fit a web cam zoomed in to the meter in the garage?...:rotfl:..coffee.gif

    Excluding the exceptionally grey and poor Nov & Dec 2015 (59% & 55%), my very bad months have hit 84% and 82% over the last 6 years, and Feb is heading for a similar low 80 / high 70 percentage. More grey, more rain, less gas consumption by the central heating (so not all bad).
    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.

    When putting the car away yesterday evening, 2.3 O's. Bright for a spell in the morning, dull afternoon.
