    4.79 O yesterday. I wasn't at home but where I was (outside Cardiff) had some sun, some cloud so I guess a bit west on the other side of the bridge was the same.


    Already over 3 O by quarter past eleven this morning, so hoping for a Hawaii

    Oi! Gert off my land, coming over here and not paying a toll .... grrrr.

    Gen here has been excellent, should be close to absolute max for the ESE (around 24kWh's) with cool temps making up for shorter day (v's late June).

    PS - Have you read the Giants of Ganymede trilogy? Golden oldie.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Sun's over the wrong side now so my panels are in shade and putting out 40W which means I've got my generation figure for the day:


    7.04 O (36.6 kWh)



    New record :D Don't know what the correct nomenclature is for over seven times the kWp value.
