    2.18 yesterday for 271% of daily PVGIS. Nice.

  • Bedford must have some strange microclimate going on at the moment... I managed 3.6 O's (14.4 kwh) yesterday. Completely unobstructed sunshine till about 1pm, then a couple of clouds afterwards (fairly big though, by the look of the data).

    This puts me at 120% of PVGIS for January with one day to go. This morning is also looking spectacular, so it's only going to get better!

    We also haven't got ANY snow, much to the kids disappointment...

    206Kw or 130% of PVGIS - given the start of the month not too bad and the best January since installation.
