    4.9 Os east roof, 3.0 Os west roof.

    Disappointing considering the forecast was pretty good. Had our best start to date but then late morning it all went wrong. At least made daily target which isn’t going to happen the next couple of days.

    On a positive note have now reached 5MWh generation.

    I was having a day out yesterday (elsewhere in Lincolnshire of course) but was keeping an eye on things back home on my weather radar app and there were some quite localised variations. Around the middle of the day we looked to be under a string of showers moving SW to NE while you were fine. My normally high scoring SSE facing neighbour only managed 4.8 Os.

    Today so far has been better than forecast (panels just ticking over at 2kw and 3kwh in the bag) but I am sure the situation will change in the next couple of hours. As Legoman says we are bunkering down now for the next few days - kettles have been boiled and flasks filled with the ASHPs heating the fabric of the house up and the IBoost taking anything spare. Yesterday we stored 8.5 kWh in the hot water cylinders so have a bit in reserve.

    The next few days will be a good work out for your battery.
