    Half an O yesterday, just behind December target so far, but OK(ish).

    Saw this idea on another forum, it related to the idea of the '20MWh Club' reached when the system's total gen hits 20MWh. It was jokingly pointed out that older smaller systems are discriminated against, so the suggestion of a 10MWh/kWp club be created for fairer comparison.

    My system is now over the 30MWh point, but only 55% of the way to the new target. Anyone reached it yet?
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.

    Be careful, I might take offence as you are now discriminating against my orientation. :rotfl:

    Very happy with my 5.24 kWh (0.67 Os) today. The radar at lunchtime showed a little island of sunshine in a sea of cloud.

    I really wouldn't pin your hopes on that happening !

    There's about a week to go until the Winter Solstice and the rest of December is just as close to it as we are now.
