Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

I noticed my local windfarm was inactive, mid-afternoon, despite there being a breeze. The turbines were working when I came back a bit later during the tea-time demand surge. I suspect there must have been a surfeit of PV in the system. There's not much other generation, apart from a gas-fired plant at Plymouth and Hinkley nuke at this end of the country.

My inverter (a Powador 3002) is too ancient to have a whizzy GUI and the equally ancient humm minim (not the newer minim+) CT monitor I use as a function indicator is too inaccurate for me to report meaningful O values.I'll need to check the generation meter, but today's weather forecast looks to be *excellent* for PV.Edited to add a photo of my minim, taken at 1348 today and suggesting 2.45kW output and 9.00kW generated (the proof will be when I read the generation meter after sundown):

A good day for me, 5.64 O's from 1030BST until dusk. I may have made a little more but I didn't read my meter early enough.My grid meter didn't move throughout that period, so less than 1 kWh imported during that time! (I dont have either export or consumption meters so I can't do any more analysis, sorry.)N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile.
