    March results ...... Ouch!

    Only 82% of target, lots of warm, wet and grey weather. 3 bad month start to 2017, with annual prediction now down to 97%.

    Leccy import ok at 137kWh.

    Come on April, need to see a 100%+ now.
    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.

    Just 1.83 O's for yesterday.

    Only 84% of PVGIS estimate up here in the Welsh Valleys, compared to 104% last year :(

    At least the FIT rates go up slightly today.

    Closed the month with 355 kWh vs PVGIS of 358 kWh. 99%. The few days where the panels got 4 O's helped get in this position. April target looks scary...

    3 Os yesterday, and it'll be comfortably over 4 Os today by the time bad light stops play.
    The March score for this neck of the Downs was 312 kW/h, which is 12% over PVCIS. I seem to have lost the scorecard for Jan & Feb, though it must be in the inverter somewhere....
