    Now predicting 96% for January, but some sunny days ahead. Today could, if the forecast is correct pull us back to 100%. So no idea if this will be a plus month, but looks like coming out OK, either way.

    And much less gas (GCH) than usual, certainly a warm Jan, with the small ASHP managing to keep the living room warm, with no daytime GCH burn* other than 1 or 2 days.

    *But a morning and evening 2hr burn though.
    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.

    1.5 O for 185% of PVGIS daily yesterday...... looks promising today too.

    I'm still behind schedule for the whole of January though..... certainly more poor days than good ones.

    2.2 O for 273% of daily PVGIS. Got to be happy with that, an almost perfect generation curve today.

    Although i'll need almost 3 more days like this to hit January average. :(
