    The halo must have slipped, only 1.6 O's today! :)

    Apparently the sun returns to Cardiff tomorrow. Been generating about 2kWh's per day for a week here. :(

    Well the weather folk told the truth and the sun has finally returned to grey Cardiff. So far today generation has matched yesterday already.

    Need a few bonus O's now to get the month end prediction back up from 91%.

    Friday, [STRIKE]Good morning but poor afternoon[/STRIKE]. The sun shone till around 11:00 based on the reading of my data. The effect of the sun or luck of it reduced my production from this point. Not sure why as I was driving south down the A1/A14. From around 13:00 I think it may well have rained as production fell even further.

    1.75 O's

    Cannot post Saturday production as I don't know what it is yet. Well I could find out but that means I need to go into the garage and its raining. Need to go outside and then into garage as no connecting door from house to garage. ;)

    Will post when I know. As soon as its stops raining or my WIFI thingy works again. :D

    No need to keep trying to contact them ! Just contact your bank and ask for a refund under the terms of "The Direct Debit Guarantee". They'll probably try and fob you off with advice to contact the company but stick to your guns and insist they implement the guarantee.

    My WIFI thingy is now working.

    From my graph I have I believe it was sunny in the morning but not as sunny in the afternoon. I cannot confirm this as I was in Bury St Edmunds. Never been there before, don't think I will go back again as too many drivers who are very impatient!
