    15.9kWh in Cider Country, best day since 27th Oct (16.1kWh) which seems about right as both are about 8 weeks away from the shortest day.

    13.85 kWh today - also best for some considerable time.

    That's actually put me above the (newly increased) PVGIS estimate for Feb and with hopes (no doubt soon to be dashed) that last few days of month ought to average better than first portion.

    Hopes were indeed dashed. :mad:

    Only 2.75 kWh today - but even that passes my ISA-interest test so I'm not too upset.

    Congrats to our weather forecasters who for once managed to get it right in saying that today would be mostly cloudy. But that's not quite so impressive when you know they gave the same forecast for Monday & Tuesday too :D

    Only managed 4.8 kWh today.. But thanks to info from Wattson & Holmes.. getting closer to the goal of using all generation in the house; up to to 78.9% for yesterday. Can't wait for longer days to cook dinner when the sun is still shinning...:j

    Even better today, 7.8kWh, exceeding any day in February 2012. Another day like that and I will finally exceed 3MWh total. But looking at the forecast for the next few days it will probably take a week!
    Nearly made it - 4.47 kWh today, 2,999.27 kWh total!

    Another bitterly cold day here.
    No sun whatsoever
    1.85kWh is all I could manage.

    Sounds like there will be no change for several days:(

    Have I understood it; the objective is to move the yellow slice on top of the magenta one, and thus turn it green; leaving the left hand pie all blue ?
