    It's October (very nearly November). Even when it looks sunny, only a very steep roof will generate very much at all.

  • October ended with a damp squib and 0.38 O

    Figures for the month (I know there are a few more hours of consumption to measure):

    273 kWh generated (82% of PVGIS)
    476 kWh used by my home, of which
    245 kWh came from the grid and
    121 kWh from the powerwall.

    Home use was high as I was signed off until Monday this week so had the (plasma) TV and / or computer on a lot more than otherwise would.

    I haven't posted for a month because October has been too depressing, but finished the month only 11% below PVGIS thanks to a late spurt of sunshine. A total of 56 Os and what I thought would be my worst October is actually only my sixth worst!
