    0.2kWh Wednesday & 0.4kWh yesterday. Today looks more promising though looking out the window, but the forecast says we'll probably only see the sun this morning. Suits us with our SSE orientation!

    Happy Winter Solstice all, here's to the next 6 months of increasing generation!

    Where is the next line then? You started this...;)

    Is it "me 'n Oscargrouch will wish that summer could always be here"
    Or something like that :)

    NO, No, you've got it wrong :mad:

    'Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
    Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
    Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

    Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies
    Then lock the house up, now you're set
    And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis
    As cute as ever but they never get em wet'.

    Hoping for 3 days worth of gen today, ready for the forthcoming two days of rain (assuming we're still here).

    On that note, I'm prepared to up the offer on my anti-end of the world insurance. If it doesn't work, I'll give you 150% refund, just pop round the day after the end of the world and collect - no quibbles. :D:);):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.
