    Currently predicting 112% for Jan, and the forecast for the rest of the month is (at the moment) above average, with lots of sun.

    Silly Feb temps too, GCH burns are only about 30-60 mins morning and evening, with small ASHP running all day off PV.

    Fingers crossed for another good 2019 month.
    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.

    Returned home to find 2.7 O's generated today, nicely above the expected 1.6 pvgis average for Feb here.
    A cloudy day forecast for tomorrow but then four cloudless days in a row to follow.

    Now wouldn't that finish Feb off nicely! :)
