    Another bright cold day so a healthy 1.8 O's today. Unless the cloudy front rolls in shortly I reckon they'll be another frost overnight to greet us in the morning.:eek:

    1.73 O's was pretty good considering the power was off from 1.30pm for some electrical reconfiguration.

    What have you been up to?

    First 4 days of December have been an excellent 0.67, 0.80, 0.82 and 0.82 Os which is exactly 30% of what my near neighbours SSE roof has produced. My WSW roof has produced more than three times (about 1.1 Os) what my ENE roof has managed (0.36 Os). I suppose this is mainly due to orientation but possibly due to effectively having an oversized inverter on the ENE roof. Maybe some more panels on the ENE roof would improve efficiency - any thoughts?

    Edit: for info - 3.6kw inverters on both roofs but max output I see on the ENE roof in high summer is 2.3 kw

    Adding another meter ... I don't need to record anything, I just needed the LED pulse for my energy monitor - at £15 it was cheaper than buying a new smart clamp monitor.

    I've also ditched Hive & fitted Honeywell's Evohome to make the house into 12 zones + DHW. Each rad/plinth heater can now demand heat based on the room temperature. I just need to get a condensing, modulating, Open Therm boiler fitted now. It'll be interesting to so how much of a dent this makes in the 28000 kWh annual gas consumption.

    Anyway, back on topic ... 2.05 O's today.:)

    1.62 O yesterday, was overcast until noon. I'd really like one clear day just to see what the system is capable of at this time of year.
