    Fair point, on that basis I got my first Hawaii on the 5th with 5.3O's on the ESE, plus exactly half an Hawaii on the WNW (but let's not talk about that). :p
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.
