330.01kWh or 36.83 O's. Better than my prediction at the start of the month.
Best day: 27th February with 25.72kWh or 2.87 O's. It wasn't a reference sunny day, there were some skirmishes from the clouds in mid morning. 28th February was looking stellar but then it was all ruined from 1pm onwards when an organised overcast cloud came marching in from the south.
But I think there's a triple O out there at the end of February waiting to be harvested.
Worst Day: 4th February 1.48kWh or 0.165 O's. Just a very dull wet, and increasingly snowy day. As you can see from my video, I had quite a battle with the elements each morning!
