    Nearly got an O with 0.91, which isn't bad for my system at this time of year.

    The worst part of owning an E/W set up, when the sun is low, is having generation drop during mid day (edit - because none of the panels can 'see' the sun), which seems like a bit of a pee take. :(

    Currently predicting 92%, so could be worse. ;)
    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.

    Yet another poor day, 0.1 O's and still only at 28% for the month.
    Although judging by the weather forecast, the next few days look like they might come to the rescue.
