    Hawaii today with 5.28 O. I've never been to Hawaii, but if it's like the weather I had today I don't think I want to! :rotfl: 40mph+ wind and loads of grey cloud in between bursts of sunshine.

    Same here, in fact I thought Saturday was a new record, but I'd forgotten to note down Friday's figures (first time in years), but the ESE inverter gave me 5.7 O's for Saturday thanks to so much cooling wind.
    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.
