    Boy oh boy it's messy, especially if you've had your driveway dug up! My suggestion to Wifey to leave doing the front of the house till June for better weather. :doh:

    Gen has dropped rapidly from a predicted 99% to 95% for June, and things look bad till the second half of next week.

    Even had to use the small heat pump to top up house temps, but at least that's using free PV.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    The hot water cylinders had a lot of catching up to do. Back to normal today with the IBoost harvesting 7.3 kWh.

    Today was an east roof day with 4.64 Os while the west made 3.14 Os. 3.82 Os overall is just over daily PVGIS target - not too disappointing considering the cloud and several showers we had.

    50% of the month now gone and only 37% of the monthly target achieved means 4.57 Os per day is now needed for the rest of the month to reach PVGIS
