    :j 7kWh generated again today - two days running! :j
    At this rate we might even make January target by the end of the month! :D
    However, if the forecast is to be believed, looks unlikely we'll generate anything for the next 3-4 days :(

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Ditto. First ever true zero here. Had a few zero's on the TGMs, even the 'one decimal place' model. But today was a zero at the inverters day. Thick off-white sky all day.

    Made a snowman though, so not a complete waste!:snow_laug

    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.

    0.84 over the Estuary, less than 1/10th of yesterday.
    Virtually no snow and what there was has blown off the panels in the sub zero temperatures.
