    Only a qtr here. Been a poor few days. The weather has actually been ok, but the sun seems to pop out around 11am, just too late for my easterly panels to enjoy whilst it's so, so low this time of year.

    Oh well, as at close of play today gen is predicting 100% for Jan, so shouldn't grumble.
    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.
