    Dec Gen : 69kWh
    PVGIS (Climate-SAF) : 87kWh so 'loss' of 20% but that's only £10 down in real money.


    Jan - Dec : 3644 kWh
    PVGIS (Climate-SAF) : 3517 so annual 'profit' of 3.6% (or around £60 :D )

    Another 0.25 O's today.

    That makes it 106.2% of PVGIS estimate for December & 100% of PVGIS estimate for 2017.

    Here's hoping for a brighter 2018.

    I thought i'd made 25% plus this month but on re-checking i'd entered my numbers wrong on PVGIS. Still on double double checking it seems i've still managed 100% this month and 98.5% for the year....oh well.....another year starts tomorrow and on that note hope you guys(and gals) have a prosperous and sunny new year14.gif
