    WHAT'S wrong with your system

    Probably the same as Daves System 1 below....:mad: Still made £0.03p though. :)
    Another 0kWh from System 1 today. 1.24kWh from system 2.

    More snow forecast overnight.

    Perhaps I should try the weather stone at the end of the garden - it's been very reliable recently.

    I'd never heard of a 'weather stone' before - but by an odd coincidence I was sent this link today :-

    After lots of snow last night. like all other places. This morning I thought Panels will be covered with snow. didn't look until after 3pm. There was no snow on the panel and it generated best of the month and year 5.79kwh. I assume most will beat this today.

    Panels were clear yesterday - but very little sun.

    3" to 4" snow overnight so nothing early on.

    Started melting around 10am so some generation but only peaked at 156W with daily yield of 363 Wh

    Panels still appear to have a fine white film over them - let's hope tonight's promised rain really happens and they get a thorough clean (or at least roof get less slippery so I can finish job with a soft wet brush).
