    Got a 2.46 O yesterday, not bad for a rainy day.

    Mch is looking pretty bad, predicting 85% for the month and the poor weather forecast may mean it's less. Oh well, Feb was great. ;)
    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.

    Hi

    Think yourself lucky ... we had a milestone day today - chugged past 50% of the total for March 2014, so doubt that it'll exactly be the best March on our books! ... as for being the worst, well that's more than a a very, very, very good possibility ... :D
