    1.58 kWh today couldn't believe it, panels had no snow on them but the roof was covered. No sun at all so I am pleasantly surprised.

    Yes, I'm really pleased with them.

    My ESE finally sprang into life today and produced........wait for it...........0.001kWh,no idea what the others done today,the inverter is in the garage loft and its too bl**dy cold to go check it out.

    SDJ, you don't want the white stuff,i came home from work and the panels are completely covered again. Snowing as i type and this hasn't been forcast for us yet.

    You're not wrong. About 4in of snow here and our first 0.000kWh day ever! At least the sun didn't shine, so the snow-covered panels wouldn't have made much even if they weren't covered.

    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

    Same here, our two year old's first snowman and snow dog to celebrate a big fat zero FiT income today.

    Zero on the panels and a 15 mile journey to work that took 2 hours. Not the best day I've ever had. On the bright side, at 7:30 this morning the kids were running round the house singing "School's closed, school's closed" - and got to spend the day sledging!

    Snowed lightly all day here but did manage to clear my garage panels of any snow,hence producing 0.5kWh of leccy. Bit naughty as had to enter next doors garden to do it(luckily its empty) Even tried to clear the house panels but no such luck....got to reach over a conservatory to get to them and only thing i could find long enough were some drain rods,ok, but bent all over the place when you get more than 4 together. Ended up giving it up as a bad job:o

    there's always tomorrow to try again....want my leccy!!!!(FITS):D
