    600W today, back to normal for Nov..:(

    You were still getting that at 16:00 hours ?

    Today the Estuary had sunshine most of the day. Noon was over 2,000 Watts [Two drop outs though, with an average mains voltage for the day of 254]
    The final total 9 kWh.

    Next week looks like North wind, grey with showers, perhaps of sleet.:(

    Excuse me, 16:48 if you don't mind, around here it is past shutdown time, (sunset today, 15:59) don't forget you are more South with more street lighting, or perhaps forgot to put your clock back in October ?...:rotfl:

    4.5 kWh today...:( System went to zero input to grid at roughly 15:40:34secs. ;) :rotfl:

    In an attempt to use up some of the spare electricity, I tried a plug in radiator on various settings.
    It takes 10 seconds for my inverter to rebalance itself, if watching for the constant red light to turn off on the importing meter, is to be trusted - perhaps it is the fancy electronic importing meter that takes 10 seconds to work out what is happening?

    The inverter is a "Power - one Aurora".
