    I spent the day in Halifax & the weather has been dire all day long. I was therefore mightily surprised to be greeted with 3.92 O's when I got home tonight.:cool:

    .....and 90% charge in the batteries.:)

    Failed against PVGIS average for the month, only reached 90%

    And only used 29% of what I generated. A recurring theme with no EV, immersion or ASHP.

    Average daily import was 3.5kWh..... so a good battery sizing exercise to get me through the late spring/summer/autumn perhaps?
