    Fed up of feeling inadequate everyday so I am, instead, going to declare today’s generation as 82% of PVGIS for an October day. (December target would be a mere 0.42 Os). I will probably revert to Os again next summer.

    No disrespect intended to Oscar, of course whose name like Ohm, Volta, Coulomb, Ampère, Joule, Watt and a few others will now live on throughout the solar power age and maybe beyond.

    After a stonking start to the month, only 1.31 Os yesterday and 2.64 Os today, but that still puts me well ahead of PVGIS for average October days so far.

    Thought I'd posted earlier but must have had an Oscar moment! No Stella, but I had been bottling home made wine! Anyway, 1.88 O's today, on a bit of a downward trend but still ahead for October. :)

    Well only 1.82 O's yesterday but on the plus side it took me past my annual PVGIS target :j

    If I hit the same production for the last 3 months as last year it will be my best year.

    Back up today 4.37 O's, even better 21.4 kWh into the Leaf making todays usage around 76% so clawing a little back from the many days when it's often less than 20%. :)
