Slightly better today  0.76 O's    

Coastalwatch

A grim start to February 0.29 O's.

For January:-

Solar 25.9 O's of which  79.7% consumed.

Import 921 kWh's, total consumption 1110 kWh's.

Ashp's 487 kWh's

EV - Grid 51.46, Solar 42.1 kWhs.

This will be the first full year with a Smart meter so will be able to compare total annual consumption, including EV, against generation of Solar panels and previously calculated to be similar!

We have now had 4 months in a row below pvgis forecast, previously in the last 6 years we have never had more than 2 months in a row below forecast.

So those of you who think it has only felt miserable weather wise because of the lock down are wrong, it really has been carp.

Same dismal solar here but our winter months are always below PVGIS.  Last month only 82.5% of PVGIS. Today was much better with 1.4 Os, best day of the year so far.

Well you all  know I don't come here very often but thought I'd just report.  Like others an appalling few months. But we had sun today in Yorkshire. 1.15 O's but most importantly the highest generation since 6th November last year! May be just may be things will improve now (but with heavy snow forecast for tomorrow, patience still needed).

0.36 O for the 1st day of February.

Fairly cloudy today but still managed 1.02 O's. The days are getting better !
Not expecting much tomorrow though with more snow forecast.
