    Only 1.9 O's yesterday, and looking at the weather forecast I doubt 0.9 O's for today ..... but apparently the sun comes out on Friday!

    Not a disaster month (yet), but some nice sunny days would be welcome.

    Only 78kWh short of 30,000. And the WNW TGM closed at 8,888.6kWh yesterday, which for a mildly CDO personality (OCD tidied up into alphabetic order) was rather frustrating. :D
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.

    Never mind, if you got up early enough you would see it tick over this morning. Brings back memories of watching excitedly from the back seat of my dad’s car as the odometer clocked up all the same digits.

    I am pleased I am not the only one.:)

    Lovely 4 O`s up here today (and still imported 7 kWh`s during daylight hours!).....
    Dodgy Elec Meter update - I`ve logged a complaint and they`ve taken note of the reading so I `shouldn`t` end up over paying. I`m having an arduous uphill struggle to convince the meter accuracy team the fault is genuine and to come check it out. I guess they get quite a lot of these complaints which end in unnecessary house visits.
