    Possibly my highest gen day ever - too lazy to check back.

    35.4kWh / 6.34 O's.

    Will need about 3 more really good days to get back to 100% for the year, and potentially match May gen.
    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.

    One of the highest gen days ever yesterday, with 34.1kWh, 6.11 O's.
    Forecast for the rest of June is great, but with no rain forecast till the night of the 30th, my water butts might struggle.

    The weather forecast here is sun or sun with a little white cloud, every day through to July 2nd, so that guarantees excellent generation. :dance:

    I'll update you on July 3rd tomorrow. ;)
