    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.

    Loads of 2019 records here, highest day gen and first TyphOOO with 3.15 O's. Highest ESE and highest WNW day too.

    Prediction still negative at 95%, but better weather ahead, so hopefully it won't get worse, and even if below average, still enough power to run the ASHP approx 8am-4pm and minimise or possibly eliminate GCH burns.
    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.

    Very similar here with 3.1 Os. Best 2019 day by some margin and other than one day in late September best since August 2018.

    I have been keeping quiet over the winter as with split E/W roofs one or the other set of panels spends much of its time in the shade so multiple Os have been few and far between.

    We didn’t get our panels until beginning of July last year but only saw one Hawaii in 2018.

    We do however get a good spread of solar over the day and are just starting to get real benefit from the split roof system. On a good day we are getting 1.5 kw from 8am to 5pm and yesterday saw 2.8kw at 4.30pm. Once the clocks go forward I am hoping we can cook our tea on solar.
