    Nice day today after 5 terrible days. Got 1.3 O's, and month end prediction has slipped to 107%, but that's still pretty good.

    Weather forecast is nice(ish) tomorrow, but then rotten weather apart from a sunny 31st.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Best day of the year yesterday just shy of 17kwh.

    or 4 O's. It has been a very hit and miss month, mostly misses but the hits have all been 3 O's plus days. Target of 170Kwh may just be met.

  • 1.13 O's yesterday, 2nd best day of the month/year and nice to get an "O". :)
