    3.05kwh today, pleasantly surprised with this, can't wait for summer.
    I'm like a big kid.

    Aren't we all; at least with my SSW system I get the advantage of days becoming longer quicker as sunrise does not alter until January, while sunset gets later by around 1 minute from Dec 28th....:j:j How childish is that ?..:rotfl:

    What did I get for Christmas?
    Solar panels yipee.

    All together now, "on the 17th day of Xmas, my true love gave to me ......."

    Have fun.

    Last few days just 2's & 3's for me, but that's on or above my target for the bottom of the year, so mustn't complain.

    Almost got there yesterday but in fact my total generation for this month crept above the Dec 2011 figure (which was itself 21% above the pvgis predictions) a few minutes ago.

    Weather forecasts (for those who subscribe to such fantasies) are predicting another couple of sunny(ish) days between now & year end.

    December is never going to beat any of the summer months of course but I'm delighted to note that earnings this month will indeed exceed my 'lost ISA interest' which of course has also happened in every other month that I've had them.

    A pretty lacklustre week or more of generation (can't recall when I last posted) with plenty of 1kWh or less days. Managed 4.5kWh today though and had a 3.4kWh gift from Santa on Tuesday.

    December total currently 113.8kWh against PVGIS Classic estimate for the month of 82.3kWh, so we're +38% already with 4 days to go and a reasonable forecast. With a bit of luck we'll do +50% or maybe squeeze a +60% if we average 4.5kWh/day (Dec average so far has been 4.2kWh/day).
