    Best day of the year so far yesterday with 1.37 "O's".

    Heat pump running off solar power most of the day and still a bit extra for heating up the hot water tank :j

    Looks like it will be another good day today, with blue skies and sunshine :T

    Still unlikely to make up for the rest of Feb though, as only at about 60% of PVGIS estimate :mad:

    Big leap in best of year gen today with an unexpected 2.1 Os. Sadly the last 4 days of Feb look to be grey and wet.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.

    Another best day of the year so far, yesterday, with 1.53 O's

    Today, and rest of the month does not look too good though.

    Nearly the same yesterday, 1.62 O's.

    But I need 20 O's to beat PVGIS and 24 O's to beat my only other Feb total. :eek:
