    Just in the "O" zone:eek: Exactly 1 O :D

    Ozone for 1 O gets my vote, that's a great name, especially as my Dec average target is 0.46 O's, so I'm always aiming for the Ozone.
    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.

    Back down to earth today with only 1.69 Os but high hopes for later in the week. Half way through the month with just under 29% of PVGIS. Not looking too promising.
