    I would have thought the extra battery size of the iPace would make it an idea accompaniment to solar PV able to soak up all that excess generation - you know the (man) maths makes sense....

    (We are honestly struggling to get enough into our leaf at the moment, it is very annoying when the car is out at peak gen time or it is already full, a bit can go into the hot water - remind me to turn down the gas thermostat - but we are definitely sending some back to the grid atm :( )


    Gulp! A Jag, that's way out of my league and still a fuel guzzler so not on my horizon. But thanks for the tongue in cheek suggestion.


    A Maiden for the fifth consecutive day. Leaves an old chap quite breathless. Looks like I'm not going to get a day off, today or tomorrow either!


    May was 132.47% over forecast, June is currently 121.85% with five days to go. Admittedly it won't surpass it but who'd have guessed at two spectatcular months on the trot! :D


    Mind you, I think we've put the mockers on there being a third having just committed to Nissan Leaf. Date yet to be fixed, but just wait for the change in the weather and it should coincide!:)

    Monday was my best day ever: 6.93 Os. With partial shade, I never thought that I would approach a 7.
