    2.5 O's today, so still require 63kWh's to match pvgis v5. Will we make it?

    Surely 5.83 *(8.26+0.59) is only 51.6 ? Wish I could record only 50+ !!

    Quite right Eric and Jken. Checking back I was out by 10kWh's when reporting for the 28th, suggesting I required 63kWh's when I only required 53! :o Thank you for highlighting it.
    On the plus side, we surpassed pvgis v5 this morning and are currently 9kWh's ahead. But it's rather overcast here so won't be reporting anything like yesterdays total! :)
