Two weeks have passed since power on.
0.46 O’s today (1st December)
4.1 O’s this week
7.45 O’s over the last two weeks.
If I can get 13.5 O’s during December, then I reckon that’ll be me doing well for my site. It’s really bogged down my the “midday oak tree”, but mid afternoon sunshine is also obscured by trees after 2.15pm. Sunset here is about 3.33pm.
Also need to get on the roof and brush away a few pine needles.
