    We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky.

    Another month 25% below normal...

    Dismal here. Ended the month down 23% on expectation. That follows March that was even worse. What a dismal year to date for PV and that after the v=best February to date...

    Worst April by miles here. Got 79% ESE, 84% WNW and 81% overall.

    75 O's in total.

    Leccy import was 136kWh
    Leccy consumption was 280kWh
    Export was 274kWh

    Good weather start to May, and week one should be fine.
