    The cloud service for my energy monitor has been down for a few days so I've been unable to post daily O's.

    I took a meter reading last night & the average for the first 3 days of march is 3.42 O's which seems pretty good. B)

    Been to Belgium for a few days so missed the month end.  February figures were 226kWh of generation ( 43.5 O ) , making 89% of PVGIS.

    This month so far
    1st : 3.83 O
    2nd : 3.12 O
    3rd : 2.86 O
    4th :  0.71 O
     So it looks like I took the rain with me on holiday and left sun at home!

    Been a nice start to March, and predicting 102% for the month end. Got 2.5 O's on Monday, hopefully a Typh000 will arrive before the end of the month, but not soon according to the miserable forecast for the next 9 days.
    Loads of leccy going through my A/C unit to avoid GCH during the daytime.
    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.
