    0.42 O yesterday in the end, don't think today will be much better, nothing but thick cloud around from horizon to horizon.

    Ended up with 3.11 O's yesterday and a rather measly 0.92 today.

    But the scaffolding came down so I could admire the whole array in all of its glory. Even in the persisting rain 'tis a thing of beauty. :)

    A mainly overcast day with thin cloud cover at times enabling generation to reach 1.3 O's, so sufficient to keep the ASHP's running without fear of troubling the grid. Until dusk that is!

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Poor week and month end predictions down to 94%, but the weather has now turned, good week ahead (fingers crossed) and just before 8am today I switched the ASHP on, the 1kW kettle on, and the computer, and was still exporting ....... getting there, getting there.
    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.

    Ended up with 0.78 O yesterday. Today should be better, was mostly sunny until noon, which is the side of the roof the panels are on (I have an L shaped bungalow, one side SE facing, one SW)

    And today 3.9 O, the sun being out in the morning seems to make quite a difference, even if it's jolly cold outside today.
