    An iffy 1.57 O's to start the month.
    September:-
    Generation = 100.5 O's
    Import = 149 kWh(9 for EV)
    Gas = 0
    Charcoal, oil, wood etc = 0
    But I have to confess to  one gallon of petrol when competing in a classic motocross event. Maybe a slightly guilty conscience, but it was fun! :)
    A whole 4+ litres? don't worry about it, I farted 3 times today, stop knocking yourself..Crying a puddle emoticon Sad Emoticons

    4.02 Os (18kWh) for me today which makes it my best day since August 24th, best day I've ever recorded was 5.47 Os (24.5kWh) which was August 6th, I only started recording on July 18th, so I'm hoping that I'll get some days with 30kWh+ next summer. I'm sure I have had some but this was just through checking my generation meter in the evenings. I think my inverter records slightly lower than the meter, has anyone else experienced this?

    Got a massive 0.4kWh yesterday, though the ESE probably generated something but the meter only shows whole kWh's.
    It rained, it rained a lot, no really ...... it rained a lot!

    PS. It's raining, a lot, and this is forecast to continue till mid day Sunday ....... that's a lot of rain, and very little generation. Ho hum!
