    I managed another 6.8 today,having a great month so far....but committed a cardinal sin. I switched on an electric oil filled radiator about a week ago while we were having a cold but sunny spell. Forgot to turn it off again,its been eating 1.5kWh an hour(thats it rating) for the past week,24hrs/7days:mad:. OUCH.Not very MSE i know(used 500kWh in past 20 days) Its now well and truly turned off(unplugged).

    Won't be doing that again in a hurry.

    Unless you post or put in your profile your system size, it will be impossible for the rest of us to determine how well or poorly your doing.. i.e. is it a 250W single panel? If so well done...;)

    1.1kWh yesterday, but back to usual today: just broken double figures again :j We're still generating 0.6kW, so we might match or beat Saturday's 10.2kWh. :beer:
    81% of December's PVGIS Classic estimate achieved within 10 days, or 250% of the expected generation per day.

    Long may this unseasonably sunny weather continue in Cider Country. Surely we're not the only part of the UK enjoying a very sunny start to December?

    Equalled Saturday with a 10.2kWh.

    Spoke too soon about the weather, no sun forecast until Friday now. Might as well submit our quarterly FiT reading to EDF then. £277ish hopefully winging its way to us soon for generation since mid-September.
