    What a difference a day (or two) makes

    By 9am Saturday generation/generated was 3.01kw/7.2kwh
    9am yesterday (overcast) 2.05kw/3kwh
    9am today (pouring) 0.27kw/0.2 kwh. Until 8.30 the inverters had just been ticking over at 70watts.
    Edit: that 0.27kw was a momentary spike and back down to 70 watts again by 9.15

    I am anticipating a new record summertime (May to September) low - 6.41kw/0.82 Os on 9th May was my worst to date this year but 11th August last year only made 4.62 kw/0.59 Os.

    At least the panels are getting a good wash.

    No, not if I am to stay married! I relented and had a one hour burn on the oil CH, third one this month. Also maxed out the E7 (4kwh) until 08.35. Still got one ASHP ticking over at 350watts. Definitely sandwiches for lunch though.

    Now generated a whole 0.60kwh.

    How’s your battery doing?
