    February finished up (or sort of ran out of steam on the 27th !) at 174kWh compared to the PVGIS forecast of 158 - i.e. 10% better than expectations which made up for Jan having been 10% (of a smaller target) below.

    Generation to date in March has been a fantastic 0 kWhs (or for those who like to see O's it was 0.00). Hopefully the 3" blanket of snow on panels will disappear before month end.

    Finished February at 236 kwh vs PVGIS of 177 kwh. This will makeup for the poor performance in Jan. Hoping the Beast from the East, bids bye soon!!
