    Wow, that's good - only 1.1O's here! April is following March and it's again impossible to hit the expected April figure. 200kWh or 38 O's needed in 6 days. That's over 6 O's per day and I have only generated 6 O's on a handful of days ever. Maybe May will bring some sun...

    Have to agree with KG on this one as my ESE did indeed hit a 7 O(7.62 to be precise) about 3 years ago, fluke....probably, happen again....probably not but can live in hope
    Back to the scores on the doors.....cr*p....1.25 O's today
    Here is hoping for a 17.5 kWh result = 7 O's. Today a crappy 3.8 O's. coffee.gif

    A reasonable 4 O's yesterday, but the poor April results are still hurting, now predicting 84% for April and as many bad days as good going forward, so don't expect it to improve much, if at all.
    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.
