    My graph today looks like a floor covered with Stalagmites! Also had rain! Have put the heating on for the winter. :eek::rotfl:

    I think this is the latest we have ever left it. :)
    No heating for us yet and nowhere near the latest, we've held out until December before now. My study was only just below 20 degrees today.

    Interesting month this. Close to hitting best October figure (next day or two), projecting 113% of target for month end.

    We did put the heating on in early October, but only for a 30min burn morning and evening, and often even that was switched off. The small ASHP has been running most days putting lots of lovely solar sunshine into the thermal mass battery. And I'm still wearing shorts, in and out, but only just.
    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.

    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
