    Could we have a competition on who has the loudest rain and the most flooding please? I could then be in with a chance. On the other hand the panels which can only be reached with a cherry picker are having a real spanking!

    .83 O's in Sheffield yesterday and although you have a DN15 postcode where it must have been wet we had loads of surface water flooding with plenty of fools driving into deep water. On the plus side there's definitely no summer dust left on my self cleaning panels :rotfl:

    No rain here today hence....3.52 O's..:):j..coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
