    Nowhere near Hawaii's, but got a Bond, and first double digit kWh's for the ESE yesterday. Predicting 119%, month end, but last 4 days looking excellent, so hoping for more, and second only to last years insane 142%.
    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.

    Oh the fog! 1.4Os yesterday as it stuck around until after 2pm!
    Still, sat at 114% PVGIS for the month and hoping for a stormer today with a much brighter start.
    6.3kW system in Loughborough. 15 JASolar 300w panels on main roof SSE (no shading) with 4.2kW Growatt Inverter. 6 JASolar 300w panels on garage roof WSW (some winter shading) with a 1.65kW Growatt Inverter. Running a Nissan Leaf 24kW and considering battery storage :)
