    Who put the Kibosh on the weather then; I demand names!!..:eek: Only 4.000 O's today; who is to blame..:mad::mad::eek:..coffee.gif

    I don't think we should play the blame game, in fact as a gesture of goodwill, we should send the [STRIKE]idiot[/STRIKE] person our virtual hugs and good wishes, especially if they only got about 1.8 O's yesterday.

    Gen here still predicting 742kWh's for May if the rest of the month is average, so expect that to slide downwards. Only got 1.79 O's yesterday.
    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.

    Well 4.17 O's yesterday which squeezes me past my previous ever best month by 1 Kwh (hit 524 Kwh for the month so far). So with 6 days left I'm hoping to hit 600Kwh but the celebration is short lived today as it's raining and probably on course for the worst day of the month:rotfl:

    Edit Oh yes .497 O's :(

    Slightly better than yesterday's miserable performance with 2.28 Os as it brightened up in the afternoon. Mornings are better for me as I'm SSE facing. Still hopeful I'll beat my all-time monthly record.
