    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

    Only playing with you mate, and at least you know somebody actually reads the posts ..... also I'm in one of my weird moods where I get a bit too playful.

    Good news here is that we beat any of the last 7 days generation by 11am, and went on to get a nice (for us) 1.67 O's. Pulled the month end prediction back to 95% Woo Hoo!
    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.

    1.48 yesterday with great autumn sunshine from noon onwards whilst we were out.

    So was super infuriating knowing that I had the washing machine going all morning when we were in! :(

    The post had a 'new member flag' and indeed it was his first ever post on the MSE forum.

    A bit unfair to expect him to appreciate the local 'customs'.

    However, I agree that it would have been helpful to name the company about which he was complaining.
