    0.64 O`s for me today. No Snow on panels but this result seems consistent for this time of year for me, I suspect my rather low angle is the contributing factor.

    Hi All

    Well we're generating again .... :D

    Temperature changed quickly late last evening and the big thaw began ...

    The massive overhang of snow started to drip, then at around 10:30 it fell with a thud followed about 15 minutes later by a horrendous rumble as around 10" of snow on some of the panels lost it's grip ... this repeated a number of times during the night & we now have clear panels & tubes ... along with some pretty twisted guttering from which water from the thaw on the roof is currently creating an impressive garden water-feature, but will need looking at (unclipped gutter or broken bracket!)

    248W after 5 days of zero .... luxury .. :cool:
