    Circa. 10 kWh`s yesterday and today and u reckon that`s poor.....I`ve barely scraped up the crumbs of an O over the last couple of days :eek:
    ... Crumbs of an 'O' ... Luxury, our system would have a nosebleed if the total was that high! .... :D

    Generation here today was the same as that yesterday (zero!) .... garden still looks nice though ... :cool: ... weatherman said earlier 'look out, masses of snow and miserable conditions tomorrow, causing wide-scale disruption & chaos' - a whole 4" and we're expected to believe that disruption of biblical proportions will avail ! ... 6" on our drive yesterday and it's still there now, but life around here changed very little last night or today! .. anyway, it probably means a 3rd successive day of a flat-lined generation curve ..

    0.7 O's yesterday, which is OK actually. No snow settling here but lots further inland on higher ground. I suspect heating might be on all day today, brrrr.

    Just have to wait out the next month till gen improves a bit.
    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.

    My first ever no generation morning. We are deep in snow at the Centre of England. Haven't seen anything like this for many years.
